# Burnout, Leadership, and Toxic Work Cultures with Hamza Khan, Managing Director of Student Life Network

## Summary

Today’s episode is going to be slightly different from our previous episodes. Rather than focus explicitly on a company tackling a problem in the digital health space we have a guest whose work is focused on tackling a problem that we all face at one point in our careers, burnout.

Hamza Khan is a multi-award winning marketer & entrepreneur. He’s the Managing Director of Student Life Network, Canada’s most comprehensive resource hub dedicated to helping and empowering millions of students across the country. He co-founded both Splash Effect, a boutique marketing & creative agency, as well as SkillsCamp, a soft skills training company. He is the author of an Amazon bestselling book, “The Burnout Gamble

Topics we cover in today’s episode:

- How Student Life Network is trying to fill the community void that COVID has created for students

- The Paradox of Increased Awareness of Burnout but a lack of decrease in Burnout

- How Professional Development goes beyond signing up your employees for online courses and training

- How does Kawhi Leonard’s time at the Toronto Raptors relate to corporate team development?

- What are some behaviors that work leaders might be doing that are contributing to a toxic work environment?
