You will be participating, not just listening, so bring your questions and opinions along, find out about our expert, and what they are leading in their sector. This session will be limited to 10 people, so you’ll need to be quick to snap up your place at the table.

The purpose of this event is to focus on a culturally diverse workplace and empower people to develop their talents and skills. A range of ideas and expertise enables us to learn from a more diverse collection of colleagues. It can also boost problem-solving capabilities, increase productivity and help navigate through changing times with confidence.

Speaker Abbas Nazari will use his experience and expertise to lead you through how to better understand your own situations and how he overcame the cultural diversities in his journey to date.

The Infrastructure Collective Auckland: Burnout to Brilliance with Jess Stuart

12 April 2022

Learn how to achieve peak performance without burning out in the process. 

We live in a constant state of overwhelm and exhaustion whilst simultaneously striving for high performance. It’s not sustainable and it’s why burnout has become so prevalent. That was before the global pandemic which exacerbates the level of change and uncertainty leaving peak performance even harder to achieve.

Busyness is fashionable, we wear it like a badge of honour but it doesn’t lead to high performance. But quantity does not always mean quality and being busy does not mean we’re productive, in fact the opposite is often true. 

In our modern world the pursuit of brilliance and peak performance has led to the increased prevalence of burnout and it’s not sustainable, we need to redefine peak performance to ensure we can be our best without burning out in the process.
