Leah Weiss: Tackling Workplace Burnout with Compassion and Neuroscience

Burnout is this combination of emotional exhaustion, dehumanization and a lack of self-efficacy. You know the version of you that wants to show up to others is depleted.
Feeling the weight of burnout at work? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Leah Weiss, a Stanford lecturer and expert in compassionate leadership. Leah's journey through her own burnout experience fuels a deep dive into understanding what burnout really is, how it differs from depression and anxiety, and why it's more than just feeling tired.
They explore the root causes at individual, team, and corporate levels, and how the pandemic has amplified these issues. Leah also sheds light on the concept of compassion fatigue and the importance of setting boundaries. Drawing from her work at Stanford's Compassion Cultivation Program and her company Skylyte, Leah offers practical strategies grounded in neuroscience to help leaders and teams fend off burnout.
Whether you're a manager looking to support your team or someone trying to navigate your own stress, this episode is packed with actionable insights and a touch of empathy to help you find balance.
