The Pressure of Multitasking & The Power to Beat Burnout

Burnout is an epidemic in the workplace. It is a mental health issue and needs to be treated as such in workplace environments.

The consequences of burnout may include increased employee negativity, resignation, absence, lower productivity, and higher turnover, all of which affect a company’s bottom line. Tight deadlines, lack of management support, or unachievable job goals are just a few of the many factors that contribute to workplace burnout.

Life Coach and Super Self-care Strategist Deya teaches how the stress of multitasking is hurting our brains and our bodies, decreasing creativity and productivity.

After completing this session, the attendee will be able to:
  • Be more intentional about boosting their brain power.
  • Have an increased and real-use knowledge of EQ.
  • Identify their most important values and schedule time for them.
  • Better implement personal and professional boundaries.
  • Take technology breaks.
  • Resist the tendency to multitask; instead, focus on one project at a time.
  • Redefine success.

Deya Direct truly has a calling for helping women help themselves! In true "girlfriend" fashion, she reminds you of the value that you bring to the table and how you should approach dealing with the VIPs in your life. Be it your boss or your boo, you'll be reassured of what to do. Thank you for living your purpose and for helping me and others to do so as well.

T.A.

What can I say to describe this woman? I am a person who has a wealth of experience and knowledge but sometimes you just get in a rut. In those moments, you need someone who can give you sound and wise counsel without judgment and remind you of all those little pieces of wisdom you share with everyone else. Deya is straight forward and empathetic and still keeping you focused. She can hear what you are going through and ask the right questions to pull you through it. It's like talking to a girlfriend but completely therapeutic! She is my go-to and everyone should experience vulnerable, trusted, and open guidance. She is highly recommended, in my book!

L.K.

I've had 2 coaching sessions with Deya Direct so far and both have been extremely helpful in the work I'm doing to deal with current relationship issues. She has a really great knack for drawing me out and getting me to a place where I can assess how I'm self-sabotaging. I'm looking forward to continuing the work and would recommend her to anyone seeking coaching.

D.H.
