About this episode

Leader burnout is often more complex than just needing a vacation. Learn why standard advice fails and identify the three stages of leader burnout today. Many leaders assume that setting boundaries or taking time off is enough to fix exhaustion. This video breaks down why those are only surface-level solutions. I share my own experience pushing past my limits to explain why burnout is a deeper, systemic issue that requires a different approach to leadership stress. If you are feeling overwhelmed, you are not alone. By understanding the three stages of burnout, you can better identify where you are in the cycle and start addressing the root causes. This video is for anyone in a management role trying to navigate the reality of leadership challenges without sacrificing their health. Want to talk through a decision you're navigating right now?
