Pause, Breathe, Recharge
Do you work every hour under the sun? With a never-ending to-do list and a fear of letting everyone down if you give less than 100% of yourself? Do you sacrifice personal time neglecting yourself and loved ones? Do you feel like your life is moving at 100 miles an hour and you can't seem to find the brakes?
If you can relate to any of what I've described, pause for a second and answer these questions.
How long can you keep this going?
What happens when you can't keep going any longer?
Do you want a better balance, so you have enough time to spend on all the things you care about?
What I'm describing is burnout.
With as many as 50% of people experiencing it in their lifetimes, it's a big deal. It causes physical and mental ill health, sickness absence, a loss of identity... And quite often results in people leaving their role - its impact is huge.
The good news? You can beat burnout and I'm living proof.
My coaching programmes focus on the development of strength, vanishing burnout risk factors, and creating new techniques to enable you to move beyond burnout and to a position of resilience and infinite personal growth
- balance brings breakthrough.
Why is it important for me to help people experiencing burnout?
Because I'm a burnout survivor and I learned the hard way.
Over 2 decades in the NHS, working my way from clinician to director, fed my rescuer complex and my drive to help people and fix everything for... well, everyone. Then came the pandemic which took the concept of hard work and long hours to a whole other dimension.
Throw into the mix an NHS inspection which took my organisation into the unending pressure of special measures... and you have my old life.
Work, work, work. No personal life. A neglected family.
Over five years or so, I hurtled towards burnout without even realising it
...until one morning I woke up and couldn't function… and didn't care.
It took eight months for me to recover, to find myself and figure out what I actually wanted for myself.
I wish I had known someone who could have helped me find a better way of living and working, before I burned out. I wish I had known someone who could have walked beside me, guiding me through my burnout recovery to make it quicker and less lonely. Let me fill that space for you.
I don't want anyone to experience burnout
- I want it banished, for good.
It's avoidable - self-awareness, good leadership, and a decent company culture are the key ingredients, and my services help individuals and companies to avoid burnout, get through it, and move beyond to a balanced, resilient position where performance can improve through a focus on infinite growth.
“We can't become what we need to be by remaining what we are.”
