This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Janice Litvin. She says -

We just need to stop and listen to ourselves.

“So a lot of times we just need to stop and listen to ourselves and do a lot of writing, speaking with someone we trust, either our colleague, a partner, or friend, or relative, whoever you can really truly trust. And hopefully someone at your workplace, if you're gainfully employed or someone in your community. And really start talking about what's bothering you and try to get at why and what needs to be done to change it. Because a lot of times the answers are in there.”

Janice is an award winning corporate wellness speaker, on a mission to help leaders and teams banish burnout in their organization. She wants to help as many people as possible take care of their mental health, specifically teaching them to manage stress to prevent burnout.

Janice has developed unique strategies to maximize engagement and workplace wellness and has developed a stress management methodology, which you can find in her workbook “Banish Burnout Toolkit”.

And in the past, Janice has helped Fortune 500 clients and their need for technology talent and those clients included Charles Schwab, Oracle, the Gap, Symantec, Nokia, the United States Army, and so many more.

In this episode we discussed:

• how her observations of people’s stress and overwhelm led to Janice’s focus on burnout in the workplace
• the obvious and subtle clues showing possible burnout
• Janice’s deep connection and passion to, and for, her work.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Dr Gena C Lovett. She says -

When I discovered the power of my village, the load was shared.

“I would ask myself, what is it that I really like doing? What do I like doing? Not so much a worry of, am I good at it, because it's my belief that if you really like something, if you're really passionate about it, you accomplish that, you find a way to do it. And then the other thing, and they've been very helpful for me, is my village. Who is her village? You'd be surprised, and I was that person for many years that had just myself. When I discovered the power of my village, the load was shared. Because let's face it, a lot of times at work, you know, we're doing well. It helps to have that village around you to understand, you know, and keep you grounded, to someone to have your back, someone to tell you the truth. I cannot stress enough the importance of that.”

Dr. Gena C Lovett, PhD is a speaker, executive consultant, and author of the book C Suite Quotient, The 8 C Suite Behaviors That Propel a Leadership Culture.

Gena is a C Suite strategist who empowers executives to unlock their full leadership potential and she has over 25 years in the corporate world. She has led manufacturing operations at the Boeing Company, worked in leadership positions as a Global Chief Diversity Officer at Alcoa and has had key roles at Ford.

Gena has done so many amazing things. And if all that was not enough, she started her own company, Hidden Gems Consulting.

Gena also serves as a trustee on the Board for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum which she says indulges her love of music and meaningful community service impact.

This week’s “How She Finds Purpose” insight comes from Pamela Thompson. She says:

What I know to be true, as women, it's very important that we support one another.

“Doing more than being and giving more than receiving, and often feeling that you can't reach out for help. And to the women, I would say that it's not a sign of weakness to reach out for support. Because I don't know about you, but the way I was raised, it was like I was meant to feel, it could have been inadvertently, that if you reached out, it was a sign of weakness. Whereas, what I know to be true, as women, it's very important that we support one another.”

Pamela Thompson is the founder of Female Wave of Change Canada, which is a national member based nonprofit and she believes that feminine leadership holds the key to creating a better world.

She's also the author of two best selling books, Learning to Dance with Life, A Guide for High Achieving Women and The Exploits of Minerva, Reflections of a 60 Something Woman, and is currently working on her third.

Pamela finds purpose in sharing her insightful stories and actionable strategies on how to navigate change, lead in uncertain times, and thrive in life and work.

In this episode we discussed:

• how Pamela’s passion for travel and making an impact was influenced early on by her parents
• her experiences in so many different countries globally
• how burnout affected, changed and led to developing her purpose supporting women after noticing how many driven women succumb to illness and stress.
