Encore Episode: How to Avoid Burnout During Peak Work Periods

Long days at the office? Are you feeling stressed out by work?

Perhaps you can change your point of view. The things you think you can’t change can be stressful. There may be ways to enjoy more of the work or improve your ability to get through the work.

Listen as Dr. Andrew Gardella joins Melanie Cole, MS, to discuss reducing work stress.
