In high-performance environments, burnout doesn’t announce itself with a grand entrance. It arrives oh so subtly - through short tempers, decision fatigue, a creeping cynicism that turns passion into frustration. Leaders often absorb the stress of their teams, putting out fires without stopping to check if they are burning out themselves.

Many don’t realise the impact of unprocessed experiences, past conditioning, and deeply ingrained habits that shape how you respond to high-pressure situations. The way we perceive challenges, the stories we tell ourselves about setbacks, and our ability to detach from reactive patterns all play into our resilience…or lack thereof.
