A Harvard study reported 96% percent of senior leaders experience some degree of burnout.

And this becomes a common cause for quitting.

→ Jacinda Ardern is a prominent figure to step back from her position

→ Mark McGowan resigned as leader of Western Australia citing exhaustion as the culprit

That’s why I created an in-depth module on this in my program so executives don't drop off after reaching the top.

And today I'm sharing 6 elements I coach my clients about to ensure they shine AND thrive in their roles.

1️⃣ 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲-𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴:

Get comfy with not being everyone's go-to problem solver. Teach them to fish, rather than handing out fish. You’ll save your sanity and your team will grow.

2️⃣ 𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹:

Let someone else call the shots. You might be surprised how well things can turn out, even when they don't go exactly your way.

3️⃣ 𝗗𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺:

Pouring your all into one thing means cutting back somewhere else. Make sure you set a cap on how much you and your team need to do.

4️⃣ 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗸𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 '𝗡𝗼':

You are deciding what you are saying yes to every time you say ‘No’.

5️⃣ 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝘄:

Shift focus from the trivial many in your life by constantly re-evaluating your four quadrants - career, relationships, health, and refuel.

6️⃣ 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽:

- By setting your priorities...
- By considering your boundaries...
- By working smart...

You no longer have to pick between either/or.
You can have both - great career and great life.

To wrap up...

A burnt-out leader can't light the way for anyone.

So don't let your role extinguish your soul. 💛
