I started working for my Conference six months before the pandemic. Alongside stepping into this new job, I was also completing a Coaching Certificate in Geneva. I started that because learning how to listen and how to ask good questions would enable me to help people connect&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Although I didn&#8217;t realise what was happening, I chose to cover my burnout under the superhero disguise. I was super active and did not complain about it at all. When lockdown arrived, I remember my daughter saying, &#8220;Great &#8211; Covid is going to give me my parents back. Because of lockdown my work intensified, not least in preparing daily video meditations for the people I serve. At one point I set my alarm for 1:00 am, so videos could be uploaded over the internet overnight when neigbours were least likely to use the internet.<\/p>\n<p>I ended up working 230 hours for several months in a row, plus my studies. But I was still happy to have lots of assignments because I thought I would be able to balance things out in my mind. I carried on because\u00a0I knew that \u00a0the work I do is good.<\/p>\n<p>It was during October 2020, that life became manic. I was travelling a lot, presenting, and to cut a long story short, at that moment the body collapsed &#8211; and let me tell you, you really can&#8217;t miss it! I also was involved in a car accident&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Marianne Penner serves as the Communication and Media director for the South France Federation \/ Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. on 30 May she led the monthly Communication and Media seminar run jointly by the TED and Inter-European Division.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you feel guilty if you rest?<\/li>\n<li>Do you live your work as a vocation?<\/li>\n<li>Is your work an integral part of your life?<\/li>\n<li>Is you career path on an upwards trajectory<\/li>\n<li>Are the boundaries between your professional and personal life weak or non-existant?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Marianne&#8217;s shared more of her story during the monthly TED\/EUD European Communication Seminar.
