Rarely do I get burnt out in my current job but in my past jobs I have experienced burnout several times. This was caused by working so many extra hours due to the large workload.  Having to get a high dollar job done to make payroll, pay taxes, ect. Overtime is where the money is at. I have 3 daughters (all grown up now with families of there own) and raising 3 children is not cheap. I took the extra hours to pay for the added expenses. I missed more games and recitals than i would have liked. You can't… >>>

I started a full time job when I was 19. I learned quickly it was best to get along with my boss. I've had good bosses and bad bosses. A good boss is easy to get along with most of the time but the bad boss, therein lies the problem. I learned to keep my answers short and to the point, get a feel for the his mood and do my job to the best of my ability to avoid as many issues as possible. By doing this I made my time with the bad boss bearable avoided quitting a… >>>

I was fortunate to have a father who taught us personal and work ethic along with a sense of humility. Be proud of your work. It will speak for itself. Having been taught personal ethics made it easier to make ethical work decisions which I face on a weekly basis. My plan is to continue applying what i have learned to keep my choices ethical, to be an example to my students and fellow instructors. 

The lesson reiterated what I have seen in the good leaders I have encountered in my life. It is a very powerful behavior -  to act how you would like to be treated.

I took from this to show a more positive practice at work (be on time, have a good attitude, analyze problems thoroughly) and to set Specific goals to better improve self at work. 

Put yourself and your family first.  A job will never love you.

I learned that formal training is important, that employees need encouragement to complete the formal training and apply what they learned in formal training.

I learned that my boss has same feelings like the rest and that respect is better then always being right. I learned that patience pays off. This acitivity helped me view my boss's perpective, that my boss has a lot on her plate everyday and it is not possible to always be perfect.  Much Grace is needed.  

I learned that ethical behaviors in the work place are important and that the behaviors of each employee has an impact on others not  just the individual employee.

Be ethical to yourself before being ethical to others

I learned that one must adjust and adapt to their bosses style of management and look at it as a learning experience on your way to success rather than being negative. Take initiative. 

We must be the change that we would like to see in others. To be change champions we must lead by example.

Our behaviour is quickly emulated by those around us. 

One thing I learned in that stressed can be managed when it seems like to much. And also stress can push you which can help you grow as a professional and a person.

Often times we mistake in understanding what is a stress situation and what is a burnout phase. The online course helped me understand these two better.

I learned different strategies given to me by answering questions on how to properly manage a business and being an  example for the employees.

I learned that setting high standards and gols for yourself can make an impact on others. Also setting specific goals in areas that you are not to strong in can help strengthen areas of weakness.

The only stressful thing about this training was the stress quiz, man talk about a stressor. I was trying to be honest, it was just... well stressful.

I didnt realize, that personal goals needed to be as specific as they had listed them. I persononally need to be better at setting more specific goals. I also need to be better at leading by example. 

Employees and co-workers look for a reasons to do the right thing.  

I learned about ethical and unetical procedures.
