Article- Preventing Burnout (Teachers, Employees, You)
Dear Friend,
I thought you might be interested in this article regarding burnout.
Whether you’re a teacher, or work elsewhere, it’s something that affects many of us (Over 77% of people report some burnout- Deloitte).
Working with many superintendents, principals, CEO’s, and Managers, giving presentations to their districts and companies, I’ve heard firsthand from them and their people.
For the article, I was asked, What’s contributing to teacher burnout, and really any work burnout for that matter.
From the article;
A Very Tough Few Years for Educators
“The last four years magnified the challenges teachers face. Many report feeling irritable, exhausted, and disconnected. “Educators pour into their students every day,” Kofitsas notes, “but they often neglect their own needs. Over time, this imbalance leads to burnout and diminished performance.”
Tackling Teacher Burnout With Holistic Wellness
Kofitsas understands the toll that burnout takes on educators. “Teachers give so much to their students—often at the expense of their well-being,” he confirms. His programs address the root causes of burnout. The outcome? Educators can recharge and regain focus.
Through carefully tailored professional development workshops and seminars, Kofitsas offers tools for fitness, nutrition, and stress management. His interactive sessions emphasize practical strategies that staff can immediately implement. “Wellness is about creating positive habits that improve both mind and body,” he insists.”

Testimonial
“Peter delivered what was by far the best one-hour presentation that our audience has ever seen. Full of energy, entertainment and mind-altering knowledge, he helped set the stage for all of us to rethink our daily habits. His session may honestly be the best I’ve ever attended, the perfect blend of knowledge and showmanship! He conducted a health and wellness session during our Mazda USA’s Northeast Region 2023 Field Meeting. Peter’s presentation was informative, enlightening, and entertaining. He used examples that resonated with all attendees and provided information we could all use in our everyday lives. He is an excellent speaker who got the audience engaged and excited.”
