Burnout is an unfortunate reality that many leaders experience today.  The physical, mental, emotional and spiritual exhaustion that is experienced daily by so many is made further burdensome by an absence of knowing how to really take care of one’s self.  This course will focus on fundamental aspects of self-care, how to build substantive outlets for self-care, and the relationship between knowing one’s values and knowing how to take care of one’s self.  The two fundamental questions that the course will be built upon are “What are your values?” and “How do you take care of your heart?”
