Let’s talk about the thing we all feel but rarely say out loud: burnout.
In a profession where we’re constantly expected to be creative, strategic, and emotionally tuned in, exhaustion often hides in plain sight. And if we don’t make space to acknowledge it, burnout becomes just another part of the job instead of a signal to pause and reset.
This Coffee Chat is that space.
We’re taking time to talk honestly about what burnout looks like in our professional and personal lives – and how we can begin recovering in ways that work for real people with real responsibilities.
We’re joined by special guest Chris Coladonato, The Connection Catalyst, who brings a fresh, grounded perspective on well-being at work and the power of intentional rest as a strategy, not a reward.
This isn’t a fix-it session. It’s a reflection session.
Together, we’ll explore:
How burnout shows up specifically in L&D roles
The myths we believe about productivity, energy, and “being the go-to”
How to start noticing the signs – before the burnout spiral hits
Strategic rest and recovery practices that actually work
“Rest helps you show up differently—calmer, clearer, more connected. It’s not a sign of weakness… Rest isn’t lazy—it’s strategic.”
— Chris Coladonato, The Connection Catalyst
This is your invitation to step away from the noise and connect with others who understand the unique pressures of learning and development work. We’re gathering not to solve burnout in one hour – but to talk honestly about what it looks like, how it affects us, and what recovery can truly mean.
You’re welcome to participate or just listen in. Bring your coffee, your questions, or simply your presence.
This conversation is free, open, and judgment-free, because sometimes just showing up is the first step toward feeling whole again.
