Are you one of these four people?

Burnout is one of the things we’re often convinced won’t happen to us. That’s what I thought too, right up until the moment the doctor told me otherwise…

Reports released yesterday by the Dutch bureau for statistics CBS and TNO show that 1 in 7 employees is coping with burnout complaints. Globally that number is even 1 in 4 according to McKinsey Health Institute.

The problem is we can’t count on ourselves to catch those symptoms early.

If your to-do list feels endless or you’re feeling detached from your work, you might want to check other signs of burnout as well:

• (Emotional) overwhelm
• Trouble concentrating
• Headaches
• Difficulty sleeping
• Mind fog
• Upset stomach
• Waking up exhausted

When you recognize more than one of these symptoms, you should be careful. You might be one of those four people heading for burnout! (Please note these are just some of the burnout symptoms!)

I’ve supported many clients who were on the verge of a burnout (though often they didn’t know that themselves). Many people come to me because they want more energy, when a looming burnout is the real reason for their exhaustion.

If you’re wondering whether you’re facing a burnout or perhaps had one that went unacknowledged, then my Burnout Scan is perfect for you.

In a few minutes you’ll know where you stand on the burnout scale and which actions you can take now to help you steer clear from disaster—or speed up your recovery.

I don’t want you to go through burnout if we can prevent it. I know how taxing that can be from personal experience…

Have a day full of energy and inspiration!
