Lessons Learned from Burnout

EPISODE TWENTY THREE Lessons Learned from Burnout SUMMARY SECTION Collapsing with Pneumonia was a physical manifestation of burnout. The recovery process provided James with time to reflect on what brought him to that point and what needed to change as a consequence. In this episode James Rule explores the lessons learned from this experience, that he continues to draw upon in his work as a coach, trainer and mentor. KEY TAKEAWAYS Work ethic is essential but work ethic without a focus on mental and physical recovery is dangerous. We need to establish a proactive as opposed to reactive morning routine. One that energises us and empowers our mindset. There is a need for a renewed focus on sleep quality and creating an evening routine to optimise sleep. Delegation - Failing to delegate is an accelerator to burnout. Structure your calendar and To Do List. All tasks and meetings are not created equal. Practice visualisation. It is widely embraced in sport and the military but under utilised in industry. Learning - Prioritise continuous learning. Take a holistic view to high performance. Focussing solely on your professional role will not truly optimise performance.
