Early‑career professionals face a higher risk of burnout as they move from the structured world of study into dynamic, ever‑changing workplaces where there’s rarely one right answer. This session brought together an expert psychologist and a lived‑experience speaker to explore how perfectionism, a preference for certainty and sensitivity to feedback can increase burnout risk early in your career—as well as how to navigate these tendencies more effectively.
Speakers:
- Penny Myerscough – Chief Mental Health Officer, Commonwealth Bank Australia
