In this Webinar

Back in 2015, leadership coaches Jane Kise and Ann Holm began addressing their clients’ complaints about overwork, busyness, and burnout with the latest brain research on the factors that tax or restore bandwidth. They finished validating their Brain Energy and Bandwidth Survey in 2019. And then came the COVID-19 pandemic, aggravating the trends that lead to burnout. What is bandwidth? It’s your brain’s "fuel tank." And how full it gets depends on individual habits and routines, and workplace norms and policies, that tax or restore mental bandwidth.
