In part one, we’re joined by Dr. Christine Pfund, a leader and national director at the forefront of teaching, learning and mentor and mentee training who has written on mentor burnout. Join us for a rich, honest and pragmatic conversation. Dr. Pfund helps us identify the signs and different types of burn out, and then provides practical tips for replenishing and recharging. In this candid conversation, Dr. Pfund and Dr. Addy also share personal insights from their own mentoring approaches, successes, tensions, growth areas, and navigation with burnout. We also consider the circumstances and internal and external pressures that can move us towards burnout, such as our internal expectations and guilt. To push against this tendency for burnout, we reflect on the powerful role of community, the importance of checking in and support of one another, and the essential practice of setting boundaries. We end by discussing the role of faith perspectives, and the benefits and challenges of servant-hearted leadership and discerning when to say no. This is a great episode that will help you reflect and identify early signs of burnout and give you practical tools that you can apply today. It’s a truly wide-ranging, informative and encouraging conversation!!","meta_description":"In this new Addy Hour conversation, we start with a two-part episode on thriving without burnout – especially in vocations that involve investing in each…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4400,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/addy-hour-3612648/episodes/thriving-or-burn-out-in-mentoring-pastoring-service-vocation-part-1-w-christine-pfund/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/addy-hour-3612648/thriving-or-burn-out-in-mentoring-pastoring-service-vocation-part-1-w-christine-pfund.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
