Once they address the stigma of burnout and address it, get their trust, then we can start doing the work. And the work is simple for me anyway. It's one of the reasons why I got certified in cognitive behavioral therapy and neuro-linguistic programming. Much easier to say CBT and NLP therapy, by the way, because those are some mouthful words.

But the reason why I did that was time and time again, I kept running into people having similar issues. And a lot of it was what they were telling themselves, their beliefs, their habits, their thought patterns, their programming that they have instilled in their lives. And it's much like programs on your phone or apps on your phone or on your computer.

you can uninstall them and you can install better apps and better programs for you to live your life the way you want your life to be and just giving them that initial courage that they can make the adjustments that they need to make in my situation real quick i had to reinvent my life because the way that i was living painfully wasn't the best way to live

But for 99% of the other people out there that are burned out or approaching burnout, you don't need to reinvite your life. Just make a couple adjustments here and there. You'll see humongous dividends when you do so.

Yeah, the first one, turning around an organization culture, they had a ton of turnover. In their early days, they were a startup organization, ton of turnover, no trust, no communication. People were stressed, people were leaving, and these weren't young people by any stretch. They were well-educated individuals that were leaving like they were quitting a fast food job as a teenager.

And I'm like, okay, what's going on here? And it boiled down to communication and trust was a big issue. Expectations, I think, were another. Miscommunication, going back to the communication thing, seems to be a common challenge. And then toss in some ego, and you have yourself a toxic environment. So for me, it was like, okay, let's get to the bottom of this. So

The nice thing about it was how I approached it was, look, I'm your friend here. I want to make this better for you. If you were in my seat, what would you change? What would you do? And once they trusted me and felt comfortable sharing, then they were an open book, and they would share all the things.

And I put them all together, and there was a lot of commonality on both sides, both parties, the one – the upper management and the staff. And once we got to those commonalities, I met with them individually. And then I met with them in small groups and we just shared the misconceptions that people had and misunderstandings.

It went from an organization that was having just tremendous turnover every year to a year later, they were averaging around 6% turnover and they were well in the double digits before. And all it was for me, I say all it was, I tend to simplify things, but I know the work was pretty instrumental.

It was a situation where it just turned things around and it became an organization instead of being or having a reputation of being a toxic workplace to an organization where people were applying to work there when there were no roles open. They wanted to be a part of it because they knew and heard that this was a great place to work. And it was the same people.
