Is Now the Time?

According to the O.C. Tanner Global Culture Report published in January, nearly one-third of employees are stuck in survival mode—a situation that has led to stalled careers and increased burnout. This trend is worrying and clearly unsustainable.

I've had times when my schedule was so full of back-to-back meetings that I barely had time to do my actual work, let alone think strategically. Can you relate?

Escaping survival mode can seem daunting or even out of reach, so start with small steps like taking a five-minute walk to build confidence and experience quick wins.

Working with an executive coach can also be beneficial—they can help you set micro-goals, pinpoint which tasks push you into survival mode, and strategize ways to set boundaries, reprioritize yourself, and better manage your time.
