  • Pain Points: How Do You Rebuild Yourself After Breaking? (Exclusive)

There’s a way back from burnout. Sharon Aneja is living proof of that. Sharon went through a deeply traumatic experience. She suffered a complete breakdown and experienced PTSD. But came out the other side, and started looking at her life and work through different eyes.

Since then, she’s been leveraging her experiences to help others take better care of themselves, and to show managers and leaders how to support all their people to thrive. She uses positive psychology, plus practical management strategies, to create more “human” workplaces, where mutual support and resilience are baked in, and where everything goes better as a result.

  • Pain Points:  Why Do I Feel Like an Imposter? (Exclusive)

Ever look around and think everyone else has it figured out while you are hoping no one notices you are quietly winging it? That nagging doubt can sneak in even when you are capable, prepared, and more than qualified. This is not about pretending to be confident or giving yourself a pep talk in the mirror, though if that works for you, no judgement. There is a real reason that imposter feeling shows up, and once you understand it, things start to shift. Curious what is really going on behind that voice in your head? Good. We will unpack it gently, with a bit of humor and a whole lot of honesty, so you can stop worrying about being found out and start feeling grounded in what you already bring to the table.
