For Your Leaders
Prevent Burnout at Work
Resilience isn't about enduring more. It's about recovering proactively, before the crash, not after.
Burnout doesn't arrive overnight, and it isn't a personal weakness. As per WHO it's what happens when chronic workplace stress goes unmanaged and it builds in stages most people miss until they are already impacted.
This session helps your leaders catch it early and build recovery as an actual discipline, not an afterthought. They'll learn to read the warning signs in themselves and their teams, understand which type of burnout they're wired for, and put recovery in place that holds, so high performers keep performing sustainably, without paying for it with their health.

Goals
What we will do
Understand burnout for what it is and drop the idea that it's a personal failing.
Help each leader see which stage they're in, and which type of burnout they lean toward.
Turn recovery from "I'll rest when this is over" into something built into how they work.
Catch the early signals, in themselves and their teams, while you can still act proactively.

Is this for you?
Who should attend
You're in upper-middle to senior management, a director, or a senior expert.
You, or your best people, are running long days on the "it's never enough" setting.
You've started mistaking being constantly busy and tired for being productive.
You want to go into your next high-pressure stretch with a recovery system that supports you.
Curriculum
What you'll learn
The 5 Stages of Burnout, from honeymoon to habitual, so you can locate yourself, and your team, on the curve instead of guessing.
A validated burnout self-check, built on the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, a gold standard in occupational health.
The three burnout profiles: overload, under-challenged, and neglect, as the fix for each is different.
How to read the warning sign the body sends first: biological debt, when you're borrowing energy from tomorrow to get through today.
How to build active recovery and real psychological detachment into your week, the difference between resting and actually recharging.
Statistics
Why you want to learn it
The numbers make the case on their own:
82% of the global workforce was flagged at risk of burnout in 2024 (Mercer).
84% say they've experienced burnout in their current job and nearly half won't take time off, for fear of looking less committed (Deloitte).
Replacing a burned-out leader runs about 2x their annual salary (Gallup), before you count the lost knowledge and the strain on everyone left behind.
And the timing trap: the deeper into burnout someone is, the less capacity they have to climb out. Prevention is the only version of this that's actually sustainable.

“Threat response vs challenge response sounds obvious until you are facing it. I can feel the switch happening now, and I can usually turn it around before I act.”

“Building the habit around who I am rather than what I'm trying to hit made the difference and I stopped negotiating with myself.”
