Frequently asked questions

Who is this event for?

This session is for anyone feeling stretched thin or burned out, whether you’re in healthcare, education, or another demanding field. Executives, managers, and anyone supporting a team will also find practical tools and fresh perspective here.

Who is the main presenter?

The session is led by Patrick Riecke, a speaker, author, and coach who has lived through burnout himself and now helps organizations and individuals recover and prevent it. Patrick’s approach is honest, practical, and hope‑filled. He presents on this topic across the country.

Do I need to have experienced burnout to attend?

Not at all. Whether you’re currently burned out, want to prevent it, or you support others who are struggling, you’ll walk away with strategies you can use immediately.

Will there be time for questions and interaction?

Yes, the day will be fully interactive.

I’m not sure this is meant for my profession. Should I still come?

Yes. While Patrick has deep experience in healthcare, burnout is a human issue that shows up in every field. The strategies shared are designed to help anyone in a demanding role.

I’ve been to talks on burnout before and they didn’t help. How is this different?

Many burnout sessions focus only on self‑care, subtly blaming the person who burns out for their experience. This one goes deeper, exploring what actually helps, what doesn’t, and the role of leaders, organizations, and moral distress. Patrick’s real‑world experience and honest approach is fresh.

I feel awkward going to something like this by myself. Can I bring someone?

Absolutely. Invite a coworker, a friend, or even your whole team—sometimes it’s even better to attend together and talk about what you learn.

I’m already feeling burned out—will this just make me feel worse?

No. This isn’t a doom‑and‑gloom session. Patrick shares honest stories but also practical steps and hope. You’ll leave feeling understood and equipped, not weighed down.
