Low performance at work is no good. It can be an indicator something is wrong. Often we need to make a change or pivot. Either you or your leader could notice or bring up the low performance. Why you might have low performance: Don't care Personal life impacting work Poor leader / leadership Lack of support Don't have the tools needed Not aligning to the vision or bigger picture Lack of plan or schedule Poor communication Not putting in the work / effort Can't get motivated / lack of energy Not being challenged enough / not working on the right projects or type of work Little to no recognition / appreciation Not being seen or heard Doing too much Cluttered physical space Toxic work environment What to do about it: Ask yourself how you are feeling Understand expectations / goals / KPI's /etc. Create a plan Assess if you're in the right role / working for right leader / in right organization Do you need to take time off? Delegate? Rebalance workload? Ask for what you need to be successful Set clear expectations Communicate - bordering over communication efforts / progress Track progress Get your voice heard Clean, organized, distraction free workspace Follow through, follow up Understand your impact Do the things that fill your bucket Ask for continuous feedback Merch (you can get 15% off using code CAREERTALKPOD15): careertalkswag.com Paypal: paypal.me/stephdennis13 Anchor: https://anchor.fm/careertalk Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3T3HCEGR737Y7?ref_=wl_share Steph's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephdennis13/ Pod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/careertalkpodcast/ Steph's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephdennis13 Pod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/careertalkpodcast For show notes go to: http://stephdennis13.com/category/careertalk/ To work together (resume reviews, career coaching, etc.): listentocareertalk.com For the Google Survey: https://goo.gl/forms/PToleX38QgQ4EPaz1 We are written, produced, hosted and edited by Stephanie Dennis You’re awesome!!

Causes: Too many hours Working a job you hate Working for a terrible leader Not enough rest Too much stress Lack of support system Ethics / morals / values don't align to your organization Don't get to make your own choices Bored or not challenged enough Taking on too much at once So with that, what exactly is burnout? Signs of burnout: Feeling tired / exhausted Not wanting to eat Easily getting sick Anxiety is heightened Having a hard time sleeping Difficulty focusing Irritability Easy to get angry or annoyed Feeling sad or depressed Being overly negative / can't find the positive Losing joy / happiness in things / activities / people you used to find it in Withdrawing Low performance / productivity Becoming obsessive over things / activities What to do: Take time off if you can Re-balance workload Talk to your leader - ask for options Get some movement in on a regular basis Sleep, sleep, sleep Add in more healthy eating options / vitamins Try meditation Engage in activities that relax you Do some breath work Get help Chat with friends, family and co-workers more frequently Distance yourself from negative people Work on projects that fuel your purpose Merch (you can get 15% off using code CAREERTALKPOD15): careertalkswag.com Paypal: paypal.me/stephdennis13 Anchor: https://anchor.fm/careertalk Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3T3HCEGR737Y7?ref_=wl_share Steph's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephdennis13/ Pod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/careertalkpodcast/ Steph's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephdennis13 Pod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/careertalkpodcast For show notes go to: http://stephdennis13.com/category/careertalk/ To work together (resume reviews, career coaching, etc.): listentocareertalk.com For the Google Survey: https://goo.gl/forms/PToleX38QgQ4EPaz1 We are written, produced, hosted and edited by Stephanie Dennis You’re awesome!!
