A few weeks ago a friend asked me what exactly is executive coaching and I though of this success story:

Are you a business leader who has been under pressure for a number of years?

Have you not taken a vacation in months or years?

Do you feel close to burnout?

Here is a client success story (names and ülaces have been changed to protect them):

I have had several things on the burner, and not much on the back burner, so it has been a juggling process since the beginning of September and it will continue this month, but November looks free-er and I will have time for new clients and different projects.

First, there was theEASCannual general meeting and then the online congressshortly afterwards. I, of course, participated in both as a board member and I alsogave a workshopon resilience, burnout and sustainable work

You can’t slow down, maybe.

You are always working.

When are you moving towards burnout and how can you get help?

Set work boundaries but try to find (more) meaning at work, especially the hours and days. Take days off. Take holidays.

Meet with friends and family (that give you energy).

There is a lot that can be done for stress and burnout. 

One thing stands ahead of many others, though.

When you feel stressed or are heading for burnout fast, go find a friend or two and talk about it.

What does this do? It created oxytocin.

PAST: Remember the past and be grateful, PRESENT: savor what we have in the present and FUTURE: anticipate the good things the future holds with hope.

How can emotional intelligence and soft skills help to build resilience? Read on.

What can you do to become more resilient? How can you avoid burnout?

Everyone needs a vacation now and then. Take one for your own (and for your company’s) good!
