Devops, Agile, Method. & TestsFrom Burnout to Balance: A Tech Professional's Journey Through the Psychology of Burnout
In the high-pressure world of technology, burnout has become an epidemic. This session offers a candid exploration of burnout through both personal experience and psychological frameworks. We'll examine the warning signs that are often overlooked in tech culture, the neurobiological mechanisms at play, and the emotional evolution from denial to recognition and, ultimately, healing. Drawing from a recent personal experience. The distance of observation of 25 years in IT, I'll share practical insights on how organizations can create environments that prevent burnout while maintaining high performance. You'll learn concrete strategies for recognizing early symptoms in yourself and your team members, effective recovery approaches, and how to transform a burnout experience into lasting resilience. This isn't just about work-life balance—it's about fundamentally rethinking how we approach sustainability in tech careers.
