Danielle Robertson Rath | Caffeine Scientist Beating Burnout

At a certain point, no amount of caffeine can save you from exhaustion.
You are burned out.

What is burnout costing your organization?

In some occupations, mental and/or physical exhaustion in the workplace seems unavoidable:

TEACHERS
FIRST RESPONDERS
NIGHT SHIFT NURSES
THIRD SHIFT WORKERS
COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS AND DEVELOPERS

When people feel burned out, they’re more likely to take a sick day, get injured, or quit.

As a result, burnout can cost an organization thousands of dollars.

"The cost of replacing an individual employee can range from one-half to two times the employee's annual salary."

What We're Doing Now Is Not Working

Sleep is important, but not always possible. And yet so many seminars on job burnout provide unrealistic advice:

get more sleep
take a day off to recharge
drink less caffeine

The truth is, yes, sleep-deprivation impacts your performance as much as a glass of wine. If you can’t show up to work tipsy, why is it okay to show up sleep-deprived?

But here lies the problem:

To combat burnout and sleep-deprivation, you can’t ignore the coping mechanisms people are already using.

Businesses have adapted to the "new normal".
It's time for employee wellness programs to adapt too.

Over 90% of working Americans say they've taken action to boost their energy at work. And yet 60% say they've made mistakes because they were tired.

"My mind is blown about what we just learned about caffeine! As nurses, we are educated on the basics of caffeine as a drug when we administer it to patients. We are not educated on how to use it safely ourselves. It is still a drug! I'm so thankful for Danielle for teaching us tonight!"

How Danielle Robertson Rath Can Help

Nearly 90% of the adult population drinks caffeine on a daily basis. For most people, it’s part of the daily routine, like putting on pants.

However, you’d be surprised how much caffeine can affect your overall health and mental well-being.

For example, people turn to caffeine when they’re emotionally exhausted, but caffeine can’t cure that kind of tiredness. As a result, caffeine can backfire and leave you feeling more anxious than you started.

The answer isn’t QUITTING caffeine, it’s drinking caffeine strategically.

Therefore, in her workshops, Danielle describes how to feel more alert with less caffeine. How to enjoy your coffee without jitters. And how to regain your sense of control when you feel exhausted and overwhelmed.

Fatigue doesn't have to be the enemy. It can be a powerful tool if you know how to interpret the signals and respond accordingly.

Furthermore, Danielle’s workshops include industry best practices of Fatigue Management. For example, this includes recommendations by organizations such as the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine’s Task Force on Fatigue Risk Management.
