Rebalance Every 10,000 Kilometers

Presented at 44CON 2019, Sept. 13, 2019, 9:30 a.m. (59 minutes)

Careers are long. Jobs are short. One day, things are going well and in balance. The next day, there’s twenty hours of work to do. Pull back some and it is more of the same. The first half of the year, things were great. Then change came and chaos reigned and burn out followed. Pull back even further, and the demands of work and life over decades comes into sharp relief. This session presents strategies to maintain your mental health over the long haul. Handle imposter syndrome and stress. Know when to stick it out but recognize the signs when it is just not worth it. Fail and recover gracefully. Pulling on personal lessons and anecdotes from mentoring others, the presentation provides a career user manual.
