Recognizing that burnout is a problem is not the same as having a clear response. Many professionals can recognize that something feels unsustainable but still default to working harder, pushing through, or hoping the workload changes. This session introduces Lauren’s P.A.C.E. Framework, a practical model for recognizing burnout, identifying what is driving it, and choosing an appropriate response. Participants learn how to use the framework for themselves and in conversations with colleagues or team members, creating a shared language that moves burnout from vague concern to specific, actionable next steps.
