Overcome Burnout
Re-balance your work and life
About 82% of employees globally are at risk of burnout this year – but only half of employers design work with wellbeing in mind.

Is it you? Is it the job?
It's both...

Too often the expectation lies with the individual to “fix” their burnout with a weekend away or other self-care interventions. Research has shown that burnout isn’t just an individual problem, it’s also an organisational issue.

Burnout happens when there is a mismatch between the conditions a person requires to do their best work and support their wellbeing and what their organisation provides.

The challenge is to identify the mismatch and then to advocate for yourself or find another way of solving this poor alignment, and neither option is an easy fix.

Missing the signs? Beware of the danger zone

Some miss the signs that they are headed towards the “danger zone” which is that slippery junction point leading to a steep decline into poor health and dysfunction and a slow, tortuous climb back to any semblance of effectiveness (much like the steep slopes of a rushing riverbank)

Defining burnout - knowing the signs

Burnout used to be classified as a life management problem but, more recently, the World Health Organisation reclassified burnout and defined it as a work based syndrome caused by ongoing unmanaged (chronic) stress.

The 3 dimensions of burnout include:

  • Extreme fatigue or exhaustion
  • Increased mental distance from your work and/or feelings of negativity or cynicism
  • Reduced sense of professional effectiveness

The impact of unchecked burnout.

Research has linked unchecked burnout to many health problems, including:

  • Hypertension
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Substance abuse
  • Damaged relationships
  • Jeopardised career prospects

Burnout is not your fault - but you can do
something about it

  • Burnout is a common challenge faced by driven, high achievers
  • It’s often misunderstood
  • Often the blame is unfairly placed on the individual
  • It may be perceived that they can’t handle the workload or aren’t suited for their role (by self or others)

Misunderstanding & Blame 

Misplaced blame can lead to feelings of guilt and reluctance to seek help.
Other life challenges such as chronic illness, disability, caring responsibilities, financial hardships, may be contributing to the circumstance.

Guilt and Reluctance
to seek help

Instead of addressing the issue, many choose to push through, ignoring the signs of burnout.

I’m dedicated to supporting overwhelmed, high-performing business professionals in thriving, finding equanimity, and experiencing joy—all while succeeding in their careers and lives.

Today, I embrace a different philosophy: prioritizing and cultivating inner happiness.
