As content professionals, we're tasked with doing a lot of different things all at once. We frequently need to switch from user interviews, to copywriting, or from stakeholder engagement to strategy development. And then there's the unexpected requests coming at you from all directions. It can all get a bit much. And overwhelm can be a fairly constant state of being.
In this session we'll explore techniques and tactics for recognising patterns and symptoms of overwhelm in the workplace, with a specific emphasis on the role of content, communications and marketing professionals.
This session isn't just about doing less or growing resilience. Instead, we'll explore our own individual relationship to overwhelm and start noticing our own predictable patterns of behaviour as we start to get overwhelmed. We'll explore ways to notice when overwhelm is creeping up on you again, and how to nip it in the bud or have it go differently.
