Summary:

"Inclusion. Wellbeing. Care. This is the future of work. The new generation no longer wants to accept that work hurts and that to succeed, we must sacrifice our well-being and health. Throw in the fact that our three core relationships - "self," "others," and "work," are overlapping like never before, and to create the future of work we all want to see, we must rethink self-care in the workplace and stop seeing it as something we do on our own time, but rather a mindset that provides us with the fuel and tools to change and grow. The Self-Care Mindset is an extension of Jeanette's most valuable teachings; rooted in solving the burnout crisis and navigating change and uncertainty through a more inclusive and holistic approach to self-care where we protect and harness our most important resource: our humanity. Once presented with the many paradoxes surrounding self-care, readers will be walked through three sections: "Think," "Engage," and "Act." In each section, they will be introduced and given proven tools and frameworks Jeanette has designed to help navigate FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) including, the "Power Pause," the "C.A.R.E. Framework," and "AAA." Focusing on "work-life balance" is outdated and not relevant to our new world. Now is the time we focus our efforts on "work-life quality" and this starts with recognizing that work is an ecosystem of relationships, and it starts with the one we have with ourselves. Accessing what it means to be human and equipping ourselves with the tools to reclaim agency in our lives and our work - which is the true definition of self-care"-- Provided by publisher.
