Executive Stress And Burnout Coaching
2010-07-27
Burnout.  It's what happens when you push and fight and advance your career, without stepping on toes or letting your life get too out of balance.  When you are doing this, your body and your mind are subject to all kinds of stress.  Physical stress of working too hard and too long.  Mental stress of making sure you are doing everything correct.  Spiritual stress from trying to keep all areas of your life in balance.  This much stress puts you in the "fight or flight" reaction all the time.  Before your systems break down under the pressure, you should look at executive stress and burnout coaching.

Burnout Coaching?  That's A New One
Coaches exist for all areas of life.  There are sports coaches.  Life coaches.  Business coaches.  And burnout coaches.  What distinbguishes a coach from any other role, like mentor or teacher, is that coaches teach you, push you, confront you, cheer with you, yell at you, and help you look at the big picture.  In other words, the coach forces you to be better.

STRESS JUDO considers coaching to be so important that it has a module devoted to it.  The coaching here is self-coaching, so you can review yourrself and push yourself.  You can be your own coach when necessary.  You can also coach others and hire your own coach for yourself.  In this way, coaching helps prevent burnout due to stress by pulling you back every now and then.

Is Executive Stress Different?
Everyone feels stress differently.  But executive stress carries its own unique circumstances.  Executives are responsible for the employees below them on the organizational chart. Which means you are responsible for their families, their futures, their security.   And you are also responsible for the growth and health of the organization.  And sometimes, these conflict with each other.

Also, there is the stress of preserving your job and advancing your career, without alienating the people dependent on you or lateral to you.  Many times, you as the executive are confronted with a situation where you either throw a co-worker under the bus for a mistake, or take responsibility and throw your own advancement and career under the bus.  And this causes stress and burnout.

Does STRESS JUDO Have An Answer For This?
There are many factors as to why someone is promoted.  But managing stress - yours and the people around you - is a huge component.  Top management wants to know that you can be relied on in pressure situations.  The people below you must be confident that you can make decisions that benefit them, and are not the result of rushed incomplete judgment.
