Celebrate National Engineers Week with Dallas SWE as we present SHINE: Maintaining Creativity while Battling Burnout!
Picture this: finally signing off from work after a long day in the office, lab, field, or wherever you do your job. The moment holds a sense relief, but simultaneously the stress is still there. Am I ready for that big presentation tomorrow? What am I going to do for dinner tonight? Do I have time to see my friends and family this weekend? Engineering is one of the most demanding professions out there, and it can take a large time commitment to be successful. While strict deadlines, large budgets, and high visibility projects lead to meaningful careers, they can also take away our energy, creativity, and time for self-care. In this session, participants will learn the SHINE method, which is a set of guidelines that helps find joy in little things in life and overcome technical burnout while maintaining creativity and innovation.
Date: Thursday, February 20th
Time: 6:30-8pm
Location: la Madeleine, 3072 Mockingbird Ln, Dallas, TX 75205
About the Speaker
Sammy Zellner is a Process Engineer at Texas Instruments (TI) in Dallas, TX with a BS and MS in Materials Science. During the first year of her career at TI, she immediately learned the 24/7 nature of manufacturing and critical process control required in a wafer fabrication factory. Quickly approaching burnout after such a short time industry, Sammy learned key strategies to manage the demanding nature of her position. Now 5 years into her career, Sammy has learned how to balance her schedule with a full-time job, active SWE involvement, and supporting her family, while still making time for herself and staying creative and innovative, in and out of work.
