Recognising the signs of burnout

It’s often a silent struggle as women leaders climb the corporate ladder.

We've been conditioned to strive for promotions and recognition in our careers, shattering glass ceilings and proving our worth in the boardroom.

But at what cost? The unrelenting pressure to excel, coupled with overwhelming mental loads at work and home, is slowly but surely depleting us.

Burnout is the harsh reality that many high-achieving women face, yet we often dismiss the warning signs until it's too late.

Today, I want you to pause, take a deep breath, and ask yourself: "Am I teetering on the edge of burnout?"

Here are some red flags to watch out for:

?? Exhaustion - You wake up already drained before the day has begun. That morning coffee just doesn't cut it anymore.

?? Lack of Motivation - Tasks that once fired you up now feel like soul-crushing chores. Your drive is fading fast.

?? Brain Fog - Concentrating on anything feels like an uphill battle. Your cognitive powers are waning.?

?? Cynicism - You're increasingly negative, irritable, and detached from work that once inspired you.

?? Physical Symptoms - Frequent headaches, muscle tension, illness, and disturbed sleep patterns are your body's wake-up calls.

If any of these resonate, it's time to take action before you fade into a burned-out shell of yourself.

My signature programme Achieve Your Potential programme is specifically designed to support the career growth of women leaders.?

If you think that you or the women in your team could benefit from some support and guidance on how to steer clear of overwhelm and burnout then please get in touch.

Book in a call if you’d like to have a no obligation conversation about working together.
