maximize business value

On this episode of the Maximize Business Value Podcast, host Tom Bronson is joined by Conni Francini, President & CEO of Clarity Consulting, to talk about burnout. As a burnout survivor, Conni defines the term, addresses the impact of burnout on businesses and provides prevention insight. Many business owners desire a lifestyle of balance, competence and calm, so she teaches others how to tackle these concepts in the workplace. Listen now to learn about burnout, so you don’t fall victim!

Conni Francini likes to say that she’s been guiding others to see and create a hopeful future since 1979. She created opportunities from limited resources, made the most of what little she had, and did the “right” things. As a high achiever, her intense expectations turned into perfectionism, which spiraled into burnout. Her survival story as an executive burnout has guided the way she runs Clarity Consulting, where her mission is to instill hope and enable success.
