14. 5 steps I took to recover from burnout sustainably
10 Aug 2023
We’re suffering from a global burnout pandemic and I have not escaped it. I burned out 3 times before I realised that I was the root of the problem – what I believed about work, high-performance, myself and others was at the heart of the choices I was making in my career and the extent of ownership I was taking for my outcomes. Join me as I share the 5 things I have done progressively over the past 5 years to sustainably eliminate burnout from my story. Topics discussed: * What is burnout and what form do you have? * My burnout story from J.P. Morgan to McKinsey * The problem is me - how I finally broke the cycle * The 5 steps I took to recover - and my major discovery about boundaries * The 2 mindset shifts we need to make if we want our changes to last Episode correction: I took 5-6 weeks off work initially, not 5-6 months Resources: Harvard Business Review article - Why burnout happens – and how bosses can help My burnout story My video on your “work body” aka your body’s subconscious response to work -- Book a free 1x1 coaching discovery call or reach out for speaking, leadership development or culture and talent consulting for your company Clarify what you want for your career and how you want to lead with the Discover What Gives You Meaning online workshop Accelerate your career advancement with the Get Promoted online course Find me on LinkedIn and Instagram Sign up to receive my leadership letter, get discounts and early access to events Sponsor an episode
