Bias and Burnout

Understanding, Exploring, & Managing Bias and Burnout

Enroll Now

You like to be productive, so you’ve learned to stay busy. It’s nice to feel needed, so you never say “no.” Your job is to care for everyone, so you neglect your own well-being. Until you can’t.

Burnout makes it hard to manage much of anything well, and that includes our built-in biases and default ways of experiencing the world. And bias—failing to see our shared humanity—consistently leads to burnout.

There are warning signs and ways of breaking the cycle; learn about them to break through.

What You'll Learn

  • A better understanding of explicit and implicit bias, burnout, and the ways they connect
  • Strategies for managing bias and preventing burnout
  • Ways to deal with microaggressions, workplace scenarios, and tension at church
  • An action plan for implementing what you’ve learned

Here's What's Inside...

In this session, you’ll take a deep dive into bias—from the types and definitions to understanding conscious, or explicit, bias versus the implicit, or unconscious, kind. You’ll also cover microaggressions and learn how to recognize bias within your workplace or organization.

The second session introduces the problem of burnout. Like bias, burnout has the ability to permeate all areas of your life. Understanding who’s affected by burnout, the role globalization and cultural changes play, and its negative effects on well-being will be discussed in detail.

When understood properly, bias and burnout can both be addressed through increased Cultural Intelligence (CQ). In this session, you’ll learn the four subscales of CQ, highlights of 10 significant cultural values, and strategies for managing fatigue, time pressures, and distractions.

As this course concludes, you’ll have a chance to review the previous three sessions and develop an action plan for taking what you’ve learned and implementing it within your own life and congregation.
