Emotional Resilience and Avoiding Burnout

High-performing product work is emotionally demanding: constant ambiguity, stakeholder pressure, and continual tradeoffs can erode energy over time. This course focuses on building resilience as a professional skill — understanding stress patterns, preventing burnout, and creating routines that support sustainable performance. You’ll learn practical techniques to regulate your nervous system, recover faster from setbacks, and design habits around sleep, exercise, nutrition, and focus that hold up during intense periods. The goal is not wellness for its own sake; it’s maintaining clarity and decision quality when the work gets hard. Best for PMs and leaders operating in high-pressure environments who want to protect long-term performance and well-being.
