Job searching while managing work, family responsibilities, financial pressure, or everyday life can quietly become overwhelming. Many people approach recruiting as an “always on” process — constantly applying, preparing, networking, and second-guessing decisions — until exhaustion starts affecting their focus, confidence, and well-being.
In this practical and supportive session, former Amazon Recruiting Leader and Executive Coach Lisa Lawrence shares a structured approach to navigating recruiting cycles without burning out. Drawing from years of experience in hiring, coaching, and leadership, Lisa breaks down how to approach the process more intentionally — with better systems, clearer priorities, and healthier boundaries.
You’ll learn how to manage the mental load of job searching alongside existing responsibilities, prepare effectively without falling into endless “grind mode,” communicate your experience with greater clarity, and make more grounded decisions throughout the process.
The session also includes simple mindfulness and nervous system regulation practices designed to help you stay focused, resilient, and clear-headed during periods of uncertainty and transition.
In this session, we’ll cover:
• Why recruiting feels so mentally draining
• How to structure your search more sustainably
• Setting boundaries while balancing work and job hunting
• Smarter approaches to interview preparation and networking
• How to communicate your impact and experience clearly
• Simple mindfulness tools to reduce overwhelm and improve clarity
• Avoiding the “always applying” cycle that leads to burnout
