Reconnaître la fatigue, c’est aussi prendre le temps de se mettre dans le silence pour se demander de quoi notre corps et notre mental ont besoin. - Se mettre dans le silence. - Couper son téléphone et réduire le temps d’écran. - Sortir seul pour marcher ou méditer. Ton coach.

As an executive coach, I've seen burnout creep up on even the most resilient leaders. So, how do you spot it? Look for subtle changes: increased cynicism, lack of energy, and withdrawal from responsibilities. One of the biggest red flags is when fatigue turns to constant exhaustion that time off doesn't improve, and emotions swell up just discussing it. It's not just about needing a break - it's a sign that boundaries need to be set. Burnout is often a symptom of overcommitting and under-prioritizing your personal needs. Take a hard look: are you sacrificing personal time for work without pause? Are you saying 'yes' when you mean 'no'? Take a step back, reassess your priorities, and set boundaries to honor your needs.

A exaustão física e emocional são sinais claros de burnout, impactando nosso bem-estar e desempenho. Cansaço persistente, insônia ou sono excessivo e um sentimento de esgotamento emocional são comuns. Reconhecer esses sintomas é essencial para tomar medidas proativas, como buscar apoio, ajustar a carga de trabalho e priorizar o autocuidado. Criar um ambiente de trabalho saudável é fundamental para prevenir o burnout e promover a produtividade sustentável. Esteja atento aos sinais e cuide de si mesmo.

I recently interviewed Ricardo Brito for the Access to Inspiration podcast on this subject of burnout. He reflected that when he was experiencing fatigue, and his friends were telling him what they saw, he was in denial. Recognising your situation is always the start point for change. So take a quiet moment to honestly acknowledge your own situation. That does not mean you need to change, but at least you are not in denial.

O estresse já ganhou espaço na agenda das organizações há muito tempo. A síndrome de burnout começa ser mais conhecida e as consequências podem ser graves se negligenciada. A saúde mental entrou na pauta de gestão de pessoas ao disseminarem informações e envolver as lideranças como forma de prevenir. Alguns sinais iniciais são frequentes e merecem atenção médica: dificuldade de concentração, insônia, isolamento, cansaço excessivo. São sintomas de exaustão, dos excessos. As lideranças precisam saber que muita pressão e muitas demandas constantes podem deflagrar esta síndrome. E por outro lado, cabe a cada um cuidar da qualidade de vida, buscando equilibrar trabalho, vida social e atividades físicas.

In executive health coaching, one clear sign of burnout is a noticeable loss of passion and spirit. Executives who were once enthusiastic and driven may lack motivation or interest in their work. This shift can be seen in their decreased engagement with projects, a reluctance to take on new challenges, and a general disinterest in their professional development. Such changes can lead to a decline in their performance and creativity, impacting both themselves and the organization. Recognizing and addressing this loss of passion early on can help executives rediscover their drive and realign with their professional goals.

Erhöhte Reizbarkeit mag ein Zeichen von Burnout oder Erschöpfungsdepression sein. Die Herausforderung liegt darin, diese in Energie in Tatkraft umzuwandeln und Ungeduld dafür zu nutzen, sich nicht mit Kleinigkeiten aufzuhalten.

Esse é um baita sinal de fumaça, irritabilidade pode se dar ao fato de não estar vivenciando pertencimento com isso deixando de utilizar suas verdadeiras fortalezas. Nossa identidade é sempre dotada de 3 camadas. Daquilo que temos pronto para ser usado, daquilo que está adormecido e daquilo que necessita de desenvolvimento. Quando somos desafiados a usar as forças que precisam de desenvolvimento sem consciência e prazo, temos mais de 59% de chances de vivenciar stress e burn-out. Cuide das suas necessidades e aprenda a manusear sua identidade.

A significant indicator of burnout is when leaders begin to doubt their abilities and skill sets. This self-doubt can manifest as second-guessing decisions, hesitating with their actions, or constantly seeking validation from others. Executives may feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities and question their competence, eroding their confidence and effectiveness. This lack of self-assurance can hinder their ability to lead and inspire their teams. Identifying this sign early allows them to rebuild their confidence and restore a sense of mastery and purpose.

How much are you aware of your needs? How many times do you follow your heart, your necessities and your passions? For me this is the center, the root cause of extreme fatigue. When we stop listening to our heart, say yes to everything that comes our way, that is when we lose ourselves. We must remember our necessities and stat acting to follow ourselves!

Burnout often leads executives to neglect their own needs, both personal and professional. This neglect can appear as skipping meals, reducing exercise, compromising sleep, losing connection with meaningful relationships, or ignoring vital medical check-ups. Over time, this self-neglect can result in physical and mental health issues, further fanning the flames of burnout. Moreover, when executives ignore their needs, they set a poor example for their teams, potentially creating a culture of overwork and stress. Recognizing and addressing this neglect is crucial for maintaining well-being and ensuring sustained high performance in leadership roles.

Another sign of burnout among business leaders is withdrawal from social and professional engagements. Executives experiencing burnout may start isolating themselves and avoiding interactions with colleagues, peers, friends, and family. They might skip meetings, decline networking events, and show less interest in team-building activities (or work in general). This withdrawal can lead to a sense of disconnection and loneliness, further deepening the burnout cycle. Identifying this behavior early and encouraging reconnection can help executives regain their sense of community and support, which is vital for their mental and emotional well-being.

The signs of burnout can be subtle and so its incredibly important to maintain awareness around possible cues. Here's some I look out for: - Changes in Behavior: Increased irritability or detachment. - Reduced Energy Levels: Persistent fatigue & lack of enthusiasm. - Impaired Work Performance: A noticeable decline in productivity & decision-making quality. - Emotional Triggers: Heightened anxiety, frustration, or feelings of hopelessness. - Physical Complaints: Frequent headaches, insomnia, or other stress-related symptoms. In observing these signs, its important to: - Encourage Open Dialogue: Create a safe space to discuss stressors & challenges. - Introduce Self-Reflection: Use tools like journals to explore and address their stressors.
