Burnout Prevention Coaching

For Business Leaders

I help senior leaders to recognise and prevent burnout ... before it happens

Burnout is the collective result of various factors culminating in prolonged stress and health/lifestyle issues that lead to severe depletion of the adrenal glands and immune system.

As a specialist, qualified burnout coach, I work with leaders who are in the early stages of pre-burnout to prevent it from happening. I also work with individuals who have had a full burnout experience to support them back to where they want to be. Burnout coaching often spans both business and personal coaching, and works with the whole person.

Isn't burnout just a work thing?

Burnout is often described as an occupational phenomenon. But the reality for most people is that factors outside of work also contribute, for example: quality of sleep, money challenges, family responsibilities, health, feelings of isolation, age/stage of life, and relationships. Add to this a difficult work environment, over stretched team or being asked to do 'more with less' at the office, and the result can be overwhelm and burnout.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE THE SIGNS OF BURNOUT?

We can all become accustomed to the fast pace of life and work. But, over time we can lose perspective and even stop noticing some of the signs and signals that our body will be giving us. Full burnout happens if we continue to 'push through' to the point that our own body no longer trusts our decisions, and forces us to stop. The goal of pre-burnout coaching is to recognise and address the signs early, creating new, more sustainable habits and routines that support both wellbeing and high performance. The early signs and symptoms of burnout can show up in a number of different ways.

TAMMY'S STORY- BECOMING A CERTIFIED BURNOUT COACH

Following many years of Executive Coaching, I found that more clients were coming to their sessions wanting to talk about, and find strategies, to prevent burnout. I wanted to be better positioned to help them.

I decided to do additional coach training around burnout as a specialist subject. I was lucky enough to train with Jayne Morris at Balanceology over a 6 month period. Jayne is the UK's leading burnout coach, and the training and practical resources that she provided me with are based on the lastest art and science on the topic. I'm proud to also be an Associate coach for Balanceology. Over several years I've worked with senior leaders to help them successfully recognise and prevent burnout, and also create sustainable foundations for the next chapter of their life and/or career.

WHAT COULD I EXPECT FROM BURNOUT COACHING?

Each person's route to burnout coaching is different, so the example is provided to only offer reassurance and transparency around how the process often starts. The plan will differ from person to person, but it's important to highlight that burnout coaching is not a quick fix.

Example coaching plan

Burnout coaching

Our minimum number of contracted sessions on a (pre) burnout brief is 6 sessions. Unlike other types of Executive coaching, the first few sessions usually happen in quick succession, often weekly within the first coaching set. In the second set we move into practical ways to recover your energy, motivation and even sense of self.

Why choose a trained, accredited burnout coach?

In recent years the number of coaches has increased exponentially. Choosing a professionally trained and accredited coach is your guarantee of the highest standards of professionalism, ethics and skill. It helps you to navigate a crowded market place. ICF accreditation is considered as the International 'gold standard'. Burnout coaching also requires additional, specialist training and skills.

I’ve undertaken over 250 classroom hours of coach-specific training aligned to the international coach standards of the ICF and hold their formal PCC coach accreditation. I have also completed a Post Graduate Certificate in Business and Personal Coaching. In addition to this I’ve completed observed and assessed sessions, exams, and continue to attend regular coaching supervision. This extensive training, coupled with my experience as a senior executive myself, offers my clients a safe pair of hands.
