SUMMARY:Career Webinar: How to Avoid Burnout\, Tune into Your Intuition\, and Ignite Your Power
DESCRIPTION:The Workforce Wednesdays Workshop Series Event hosted by the Middlesex County Office of Career Opportunity on Wednesday\, March 22\, at 11 a.m. will feature Tabitha Scott presenting “How to Avoid Burnout\, Tune into Your Intuition\, and Ignite Your Power.” \nThe workshop will take place virtually via Zoom. \nNobody\, no matter the field or role\, is immune to burnout.

And while depression is a much bigger bear to wrestle\, we can take steps to address\, manage\, and prevent burnout. \nScott is an award-winning author and speaker; she has years of experience leading corporate innovation and sustainability. Scott was named one of the Top 10 Most Inspiring Women Leaders of 2022\, is a thought leader on the 2023 Forbes Business Council\, and her work was honored at the White House as part of its Energy Data Initiative. \nClick here or scan the QR code in this document to register. \nFor information about this and other upcoming events\, call the Middlesex County Office of Career Opportunity today at 732-745-3955 (general) or 732-293-1341 (youth 16-24). \n
