Why is this seminar offered?
Because life is too short to hate every Monday through Friday, and Sunday afternoons.
Purpose of this seminar
This talk will introduce you to effective solutions to
Find renewed joy, confidence, purpose, and meaning in your work.
Treat the trauma, fear, depression, and/or anxiety your workplace and management is creating.
And if necessary, create motivation and determination to make a course correction so that you can Live Your Professional Life Better.
Who should come?
Anyone with a desire for a happier professional life—or to regain your health, improve your resiliency, and develop better coping skills so that you can stay where you are and thrive, rather than simply survive.
This seminar is appropriate for all professionals—physicians, clinicians, researchers, administrators, CPA’s, lawyers, executives, etc.—who are struggling with burnout, exhaustion, and the subsequent collateral damage to your own health and those around you, for such reasons as,
Within yourself,
Loss of meaning
Loss of challenge
Loss of enthusiasm
Loss of confidence (i.e., “imposter syndrome”)
A case of “effortless perfectionism”
Outside yourself,
Workplace emphasis not on the quality of care and/or services—but rather on the quantity of services and the company’s own financial profit
Abusive, incompetent, and/or unhealthy management personnel
Other poor work conditions
A poor, hostile, or toxic work culture
A case of “effortless perfectionism” and “protecting the illusion/brand of excellence” at great cost
A word or three on “effortless perfectionism.”
Inside and Out—both people and institutions.
A side effect of great achievement and/or higher ability can be the perceived reflex to project “effortless perfectionism.”
We have neither “arrived” nor are we “perfect.” If you feel you have to be perfect, you are operating at a very costly level—your own health and happiness, and likely those all around you.
People and institutions relieve yourself of that illusion—for the sake of yourself, Sweet Baby Jesus, and all those around you.
We are designed to fail. Perfection isn’t possible, and to pretend is not only exhausting to you, but it is exhausting for everyone. “Excellence” requires hard work, failure, and willingness to learn, grow, and change when not right. The strategy of pretending you are perfect and/or getting rid of all the people who express concern, is not perfect; in fact, this strategy is anti-excellent.
Free tip
A psychological effect that affects our behavior is called the “Pratfall Effect.” Simply put, perfection is repulsive. Mistakes are attractive—they make us more human. So, embrace being an authentic human being, it’s sexy and people will like you better.
Petered-out Principle
If you are feeling petered-out, it’s probably because of the Peter Principle. Many managers are not qualified to manage people to begin with, especially when they have no formal training and experience, and/or they get promoted way past their ability to manage well. Their ineptitude often results in using a fear-based, bullying method to try and achieve the mission, and more importantly to protect their positions, consequently leaving the people they are managing wondering if they are on an episode of The Sopranos.
This management style results in a lot of workplace stress, fear, trauma, physical illness, and burnout, and creates significant collateral damage—quality of work goes down, days off go up, turnover is higher, and employee’s personal relationships suffer.
Managers ought to learn to lead better and/or be removed when they cause harm—but that rarely happens. In fact, “self-promoters” often are better protected from correction, get promoted to higher levels of ineptitude and paid more, and do even greater damage in order to protect their own positions.
Therefore, you have to learn self-defense strategies to deal with this unawesome reality. Work shouldn’t create complex trauma—but it often does.
Come to this seminar to learn how to get your white belt in professional psychological operations (P-PSYOPS).
