Setting Boundaries at Work: The #1 Skill to Prevent Burnout and Reset Your Career

Описание: In this episode of Inside the Team with Jesse Favre, Jesse sits down with Wendy DuCassé, DSW, LCSW, higher ed administrator and professor, to demystify what boundaries really look like in the workplace.

Dr. Wendy breaks down:

• What boundaries actually are
• How to balance personal and business needs when setting boundaries
• How team norms shape whether boundaries are honored or ignored
• Why some people feel like they “just can’t say no” and how to unpack that belief

Dr. Wendy and Jesse also play a rapid-fire game called Label That Limit, in which Dr. Wendy evaluates real-world boundary statements and explains what makes each one strong, shaky, or worth revisiting.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, overextended, or over-involved at work… let this episode be your much-needed pep talk and practical roadmap!
