Burnout from the Top – A Story of Falling, Learning, and Rising Again
Leadership is often seen as a role of strength and resilience, but what happens when the pressure becomes too much? In this talk, I will share my personal story of hitting the wall as a leader – the moment I realised I could no longer keep going – and the long road back to balance and well-being.
Through this journey, I’ve learned to recognise critical warning signs of burnout, and I want to offer practical tips for leaders and consultants on how to protect themselves before it’s too late. My goal is to provide an honest reflection that others can relate to, along with actionable advice for preventing burnout and staying resilient in demanding roles.
Key Takeaways:
- How to spot early warning signs of burnout.
- Practical steps for recovery and long-term resilience.
- Tips for maintaining balance.
