Description

Around 10-20% of my coaching calls tackle burnout. Despite being a deeply personal experience, burnout frequently affects high achievers, who often don't have the time to develop effective coping strategies.

In today's episode, we dissect several paraphrased conversations, drawing from years of career coaching experience, offering insights and practical advice to help you manage burnout, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate a resilient mindset.

In today's episode, we discuss:

  • Why burnout is a deeply personal experience
  • Insights on burnout from real-world examples
  • Why burnout is a side effect of success
  • Adopting a long-term career view
  • The importance of finding a hobby
  • Avoiding low-energy work
