Begin to turn your burnout tanker

at your own pace using a reassuring, logical, steady & structured format

  • Why consider this course?

    The challenges in identifying, facing up to and addressing burnout are many. These can be very intertwined and tough to unravel alone so it can be really hard to know where on earth to begin and then ... to stay on track. This course will help you to start and complete the journey towards a life without burnout.

  • Who you learn from and how

    This course is written and presented by an expert in the interface between wellbeing and career planning who has spoken to 1000s of people with burnout over a 30+ year period. You'll develop both a broad and in depth grasp of burnout. There is a workbook and 12 videos plus various support upgrades.

  • What will you learn?

    The course will greatly increase understanding about your burnout and demystify it. You will begin to see which key elements commonly contributing to burnout are most relevant to your unique situation. This in turn helps formulate some realistic plans to turn your burnout around.... permanently.

  • Why you need THIS course

    Misconceptions about burnout and and how to reverse it are rife. "Sticking plaster" solutions or contradictory advice may come from well-meaning family, friends & colleagues ( few, if any, of whom are burnout experts). This course is in contrast - unbiased, accurate, comprehensive and structured.

  • Time requirement

    The videos are short but jam packed with information about burnout. Three listenings of each video ( one right through, one with a friend, one making notes) is the ideal and enough of a challenge for anyone with burnout. Reflection and writing in the workbook means we feel that one hour a week is about the right time

  • More haste less speed

    This course will take around 3 months to complete. More haste less speed is true in burnout so you will resolve things faster & more profoundly by going at our recommended pace (and not thinking you can somehow bypass it all) There is a real risk of repeating burnout in the future if your grasp has not been deep enough.

  • A balanced outcome

    You will not be an expert in burnout after this course but you will be an informed expert on YOUR burnout . You will feel empowered to make the changes needed so that you can return to containing work and enjoying work within a burnout free life. The outcome is therefore a greater awareness of burnout triggers, some skills for preventing burnout and a plan ....for turning burnout around.

  • After the course

    For some thus course alone is enough ( with or without support upgrades). Others really benefit from adding a return to work module and/ or a career reevaluation and planning module. We recommend booking a one to one zoom near the end of this course if you have concerns about how best to plan your return to work or if you feel you would like to explore different ways of working.

Checklist

Preparing to start the course

  • Time for reflection or repeat viewings are more important than many people realise (we recommend at least three watches per video as many report that their retention after one single run through is very poor - this is understandable in burnout).

  • If you get stuck at any point - you can book phone support.

  • Allocate a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 60 for each lesson. This can be in 10 minute bursts.
