Watch: How to balance your well-being and career

Working in global development often involves putting the well-being of others before your own. But as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has made clearer, our ability to cope with the daily grind while remaining committed to our professional missions can be a great challenge. “People that go into development are those that want to do good for others, so I think a lot of us tend to be givers. What motivates us tends to also push us beyond our own boundaries,” said Simone Anzböck, CEO at Prosper Abroad and a consultant who focuses on workplace wellness within global development. For those thinking about how to take better care of themselves at work in 2022, Devex recently hosted a discussion with Anzböck to help development professionals find success in the areas they may be struggling with. Highlights from this event include: • Advice for adjusting working styles for better health and productivity. • Tips for maintaining resilience during stressful times. • How to communicate and be transparent with colleagues. • How to address unique challenges that development workers face.
