Achieve work-life balance with this shake-you-up, get-you-grounded, ignite-your-fighting-spirit guide to overcoming O-Syndrome
If you're overworked, overstressed, overburdened, overloaded, overcommitted, over-obligated, overtired, overwhelmed, overextended, overscheduled, and just plain over it, you are very likely suffering from O-Syndrome-today's 24/7 workplace equivalent of the elephant in the room.
You are not alone...
What do you really need and want for a satisfying and fulfilling life? By asking this and other tough but necessary questions, coach and facilitator Theresa M. Robinson highlights the need to re-establish clear values and priorities and to set boundaries in our work lives.Using powerful and honest illustrations and examples from her own life and the lives of working professionals from a myriad of backgrounds, Theresa leads us to examine the impact of O-Syndrome on our spirits, our health, and our families, and then walks us through designing our own personalized values-based strategies that unlock a more abundant life waiting for us.O-Syndrome: The Modern-day Phenomenon. Do any of us even remember when our lives became so busy that we had to strategize what to cut in order to fit in all the to-do's? Sleep is not the only area to be trimmed for the sake of work. Because work comes with its own set of deliverables and accountability methods, it systematically began to devour much of our time. We started developing the modern-day phenomenon, O-Syndrome: over-worked, overstressed, overburdened, overloaded, overcommitted, overobligated, overtired, overwhelmed, overextended, overscheduled, and just plain over it!
