Zoku x Kingsday present:
Burn Baby Burn - when the creative industry wants their pound of flesh, how do you avoid bleeding out.
In a 'whatever it takes' industry and an ever-connected world where even your boss follows you on Instagram, we ask, how can we create a true out-of-office existence?
Every day we walk the fine line between thriving and cracking under our work pressure. It's easy, at first, to miss the signs of burnout until you find yourself falling to pieces mid-presentation. We are all used to hearing, 'just one last push' or 'just this weekend', and the boundaries between work and life can cease to exist.
In a free and informal panel discussion, we aim to tackle the causes, symptoms and possible solutions to help avoid and manage professional burnout. We will look at the issues from all angles including input from mental health professionals, personal insight from those who've been to burnout and back; as well as employers navigating and balancing employees vs. results.  
Discussion points include:
-Should your employer expect you to give "all it takes"?
-Pressure in your pocket: how to manage mobile availability.
-Employers and your social media? How to manage public access to your personal life.
-Can creativity flourish under high pressure?
-Dutch work/life balance lessons and knowing your legal rights.
-Learning how to push back without burning bridges.
-What impact does individual burnout have on a team and a business?

// Clinical Psychologist: Tiffany Gordon - Tiffany is a trained Clinical Psychologist originally from Cape Town, South Africa. Currently, she works in a private practice in Amsterdam where her practice focuses on the expatriate population, a common theme of discussion being burnout.
