🕯️ Overcoming burnout: a real coaching session recording

Are you currently experiencing burnout?

Alternatively, are you interested in hiring a coach but you have no idea if or how it really works?

This podcast episode is for you.

This is one of my favourite podcasts for both coaches and potential coachees to listen to. In every episode you listen to a real coaching call, with occasional pauses as the coach interjects with her interpretation of what is happening (and why!) to help you understand the situation more deeply.

Podcast name: Coaching Real Leaders

Episode title: On the Brink of Burnout

This particular episode is about an employee (a manager), but the lesson is very applicable to entrepreneurs.

Counterintuitive advice raised: Saying no to more stuff isn't necessarily the answer. Often the root cause is deeper.

💡 Quote I'm pondering

“Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.” - David Lynch

Dive deep into the root cause. It is hard at first, but it is a skill you can improve in. Seek quality external perspectives.
