In October 2024, Sarah led a workshop with our Center faculty on the topics of burnout and resilience. As educators and scholars in the field of Communication Studies, we have a lot of background in this area, but it is a credit to Sarah that she brought a fresh perspective to a familiar topic. Her style is deeply compassionate and engaging, and she led all of us through several very useful exercises that we will return to again and again. I would highly recommend Sarah Livingstone to any organization or group looking to go a little deeper with one another to build a culture of self-care.
Cheers, Emily

On October 31, 2024, Sarah Livingstone, MSW gave the entire faculty of the William & Grace Dial Center for Speech and Communication Studies at the University of Florida a workshop on Burnout Prevention. We learned about the definition and history of burnout, as well as the meaning of resilience. I found the workshop to be deeply useful and engaging. Sarah’s professional yet conversational style was able to not only hold our attention, but made us learn deeper. I also found her use of various scenarios meaningful and relatable. As an academic with both scholarly and administrative responsibilities, I found it to be very useful for my career. I highly recommend Sarah Livingstone!

“The presentation was mind-blowing. The part that stood out to me most was about how to refresh and how to give yourself a pat on the back. It’s really astounding how we work and don’t realize the impact that it has on our daily lives. I never realized how easy we can be burned out from stress and demands from work and home and maintaining that delicate balance… This program has reminded me that I need to take time for me…”
