She found herself googling “how to recover from burnout” again.

She was depleted and frustrated. I am done she said. Her plan was to quit and focus on her health. She would figure out the career bit later when she had some energy.

She recognised her mojo was in the floor.

Her last coach did not get it and encouraged her to “keep going – you have an amazing job”. Her toolkit didn’t extend to navigating this murky soup of leadership and life.

She was desperate, so she sought help hoping this time would be different. She didn’t believe she could keep going. She did not see a career path with the company. Her manager was busy staying afloat. She was a high performer (and in the talent pipeline). She was one of the “low maintenance” ones - who should get more support but often don't.

She was earmarked for greatness and about to walk away. Her leaders knew she was a talent but they forgot to share that plan with her. If she left it would be expensive for both of them.   

She knew what she didn’t want but not what she did want.  

As we worked together she slowly learned to manage her physical, mental and emotional energy differently. As energy improved so did clarity and self-belief. We got clear on what she wanted. We hatched a plan resulting in multiple job offers. She was hot property.

Want to know the kicker?

She asked for what she wanted. With the leadership and career drive fire within her reignited, she got what she wanted and some. More opportunity, more support, more money, more challenge, more time off all without changing companies.

Her growth has been amazing and uncomfortable. 

She learned to manage energy not just time. She reduced burnout symptoms and moved forward in her career and her personal life with optimism. She slowly became her own Chief Energy Officer. There is no stopping her now.

I help people and teams become energisers to unlock growth and performance minus burnout. Companies with more energisers perform three times higher.

Are you feeling more like a Chief Energy Officer already?
