In this episode Shell is joined by organisational psychologist Dr Amantha Imber, who shares about how she hit rock bottom in 2024 in the depths of burnout. Her new book, The Energy Game provides anyone experiencing burnout with a practical science-backed guide for regaining energy bit by bit without needing to completely press pause on life. They chat about:


πŸ‘‰πŸΌ the "getting hit by a bus" fantasy

πŸ‘‰πŸ½ Amantha's burnout and the warning signs she missed

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ the "push through" paradox many face when they're exhausted

πŸ‘‰πŸΏ what's causing an energy crisis in our society?

πŸ‘‰πŸ» the 4 energy types, which one are you?

πŸ‘‰ 3 types of energy strategies: boost, rest and protect

Boldside's People & Culture Unconference is back on 15 and 16 September at The Calile Hotel in Brisbane, and it's the opposite of a stuffy convention centre day. Think workshops instead of keynotes, real conversations, and a room full of HR leaders who actually get it.
