Flow as a Countermeasure to Languishing and Burnout

The alarming rise in rates of workplace burnout, mental health challenges, and widespread languishing have created significant challenges for businesses and the people they employ. Dr. Bertram will present an overview of the science of flow state and discuss how it can be deployed for greater individual and corporate well-being. Flow is as an optimal state of consciousness in which people both feel their best and perform their best. Flow has been shown to be positively associated with decreased levels of stress, increased levels of workplace engagement and performance, as well as with a vast array of general measures of personal well-being. This presentation is designed to provide the audience with an evidence-based overview of both the psychology and neuroscience of flow state as well as actionable steps individuals and/or businesses can take to improve their overall well-being and perform more optimally.
