<\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n Dr. Geri Puleo, President and CEO of Change Management Solutions, Inc., starts her TED Talk<\/a> with a question, \u201cHow many of you here have ever been burned out?\u201d She then takes a jive at the audience\u2019s honesty because they were sitting next to their bosses.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n In Dr. Puleo\u2019s talk she delves into the different What\u2019s of burnout and interlocks them with the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Although, I hasten to add that the primary focus of the talk is burnout and as such, so will this review.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n She starts by posing the 3 questions that she aimed to answer in the past 14 years:\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n These questions are the catalysts that catapult the discussion. To say that the talk was elaborate is an understatement. It provides the foundation and definition of burnout, branches out to the causes and effects of it, and lastly associates Dr.Puleo\u2019s definition of burnout with PTSD.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n \n\n\n\n<\/p>\nIn a culture where \u201cHow well do you handle stress?\u201d is one of the first questions asked during an interview, admitting that you\u2019ve experienced burnout is risky at best and suicidal at worst.<\/h4>\n
