Most people think burnout is caused by working too much. But what if the real reason you’re feeling drained, disengaged, and exhausted has nothing to do with hours—and everything to do with misalignment?
In this episode, we unpack the deeper roots of burnout: the widening gap between your expectations and your reality.
You'll learn:
- Why burnout often hits high performers the hardest
- How to recognize misalignment—before it wrecks your motivation
- Why fear keeps us stuck in roles and relationships that no longer fit
- Practical tools to help you (or your team) recover and realign
- How HR leaders and managers can coach through burnout more effectively
