🧠 Burnout in the C-Suite is real — and it’s rising.
I’ve been seeing it more and more lately. Even the most accomplished leaders — smart, seasoned, successful — are hitting a wall.
They’ve tried the usual: a better schedule, breathing techniques, even time off.
But here’s the truth: Burnout at the top isn’t fixed by surface-level solutions. It’s deeper than that.
It’s about leadership identity. It’s about energy alignment. And it’s about purpose.
Here are 5 powerful ways I use with C-Suite execs to turn burnout around — for good:
1️) Reconnect to purpose — beyond profit.
✨ Reignite meaning and impact.
2️) Audit your energy, not just your time.
🔋 Track what fuels you vs. drains you.
3️) Shift from “Heroic Leader” to “Empowering Leader.”
🧭 Don’t BE the expert — LEAD the experts.
4️) Schedule joy time — not just breaks.
🎶 Make space for what lights you up.
5️) Build a circle of truth-tellers.
🤝 Surround yourself with people who challenge and support.
Burnout doesn’t have to be the cost of leadership. What’s one shift that’s helped you lead with more energy and ease?
