STRESSED? BURNED OUT? NEW BOOK TELLS WOMEN HOW TO GET FIRED UP AGAIN!
'From Burned Out to Fired Up' Author and Career-Transition Coach Leslie Godwin Offers Case Studies, Tips, Quizzes and Resources.
Stress affects women more negatively than men according to a survey by the Northwestern National Life Insurance Company -- and they are significantly more likely to report burnout and stress-related illnesses than men.
Female-dominated professions known for their high rate of burnout include the commonly overworked and underpaid fields of nursing, teaching, and other "helping professions." This translates into millions of women who are vulnerable to illness, low energy and burnout.
As a former psychotherapist and current coach and writer who has helped thousands of professionals find healthier relationships with their work and a purposeful life, Leslie Godwin knows the effects of stress and job burnout -- physical, mental and spiritual exhaustion. For the millions of struggling women who wear many hats, Godwin offers real solutions -- not just tips for balancing or multitasking, but how to make true life changes that result in a renewal of passion and purpose.
"From Burned Out to Fired Up: A Woman's Guide to Rekindling the Passion and Meaning in Work and Life" is for corporate professionals, budding entrepreneurs or stay-at-home mothers (and yes, that's work, too!). Godwin's compelling case studies, helpful tips, quizzes and worksheets provide the tools women need to identify where they went off track, and to connect with a deeper part of themselves to get back on track.
Using field-tested exercises that others have used as a springboard to success, she explains:
• the four myths that lead to burnout
• how to reprioritize your life around your inner calling as opposed to outer chaos or others' expectations
• how to deal with inner and external critics
• how to resolve conflicts between competing work, family and personal goals and much more.
Leslie Godwin is a career and life transition coach with 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, specializing in helping professionals find meaning in their careers, family and personal lives.
