Burnout is an all-too-familiar experience in the workplace, especially for leaders balancing people management with high performance. As professional demands grow and organizational culture lags behind, how can leaders sustain their energy, lead with purpose, and inspire their teams without losing themselves in the process?
Workplace strategist and leadership expert Daisy Auger-Domínguez has developed strategies for conquering burnout and leading with intention. To sustain energy and inspire others, she recommends beginning with self-awareness by using the Japanese ikigai framework to connect your strengths and passions with team needs and payment structures. Leaders can also set clear boundaries, reshape harmful narratives, and use scripted, compassionate conversations to address tension within teams.
In this episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show, Andrea Heuston interviews Daisy Auger-Domínguez, Founder and CEO of Auger-Domínguez Ventures, about creating sustainable leadership while avoiding burnout. Daisy explains how to dismantle racial bias and discrimination in the workplace, the role of storytelling and culture in leadership, and how to reignite your passion.
