I’m Nicki, your coaching partner. I help people who are feeling overwhelmed, drained or under pressure at work to regain confidence, feel more in control and find a more sustainable way of working so they can enjoy their careers again…without burning out.

If you want to tackle overwhelm, create sustainable systems and feel calmer, clearer and more in control again, get in touch on the buttons below, I’d love to explore what’s going on for you.

…You tell yourself it’s you that must be failing. That ‘if I just get through next week, or that meeting, or that presentation etc, I’ll be ok’.

At some point, you start to lose confidence. Maybe your memory starts to get worse, you feel like you’re failing compared to others, you start missing details or detach and stop doing as much as you were because you are finding it harder to care. You wonder why you can’t do this when everyone else has it together. You start to doubt yourself and your ability and worry about how you're perceived as you 'wing' your way through each day.

You overwork and do more to try and keep up, pulling back from things outside of work because you just don’t have the energy. Your patience is thinner than usual and you feel like you’re becoming more cynical. You spend more time alone and start to feel detached and like what you do doesn’t mean anything anymore. Relationships outside of work become impacted adding even more pressure.

Maybe you look for support like going to the doctor, therapy or you attend resilience workshops at work to try to ‘fix yourself’ and find out what’s wrong with you.

If you relate to any of this you are likely approaching, if not already in burnout, and it’s not your fault.

All humans have a limit and if the system (work or home) is causing chronic stress, it doesn’t matter how resilient or strong you are, you will struggle to stay well.

I’ve been there and I see you. You are not failing, you‘re just operating within the equivalent of an outdated computer programme. We can update the programme so it runs more smoothly, is better protected against threats/’viruses’ and is more sustainable for the demands expected of it. Ideally before we start to get the slowing down and the glitches showing up.

Coaching support helps you get clear on which areas of resilience and burnout are impacting you most, develop your understanding of the stress cycle and to find strategies that will give you the greatest benefit now and in the longer term to finally break out it. Once you’re feeling stronger we can then look at next steps, what you need and how to keep yourself well.

And this is why I am passionate about using coaching to help people support themselves so they can protect their career and their reputation.

It's tough coming back from burnout so we need to notice it and get the right support as early as possible before it takes hold of us, before it impacts our reputation and before we end up going off sick.

This is where mindset work and coaching support can be really helpful and, often, transformational.

If any of this resonates, act now so you can feel better quicker. You are not alone.
