Since 1998, I’ve specialized in coaching leaders, executives, and senior-level professionals on how to get over burnout.
An exploratory conversation costs nothing. Coaching is private and confidential.
If moving forward matters, don't let having too many things to do stop you from finding solutions. You will find the benefits of coaching are significant.
I am an Executive and Leadership Performance Coach who knows how to provide coaching support to leaders dealing with burnout. I've spent over 26 years doing it.
Support is a key word here. I can provide the very best professional coaching possible, with a lot of years of experience behind it. BUT, the responsibility to make any changes will ultimately rest with you.
As I often say, "I help leaders and executives maximize contribution and achievement, while minimizing those things that can lead to overload and burnout."
I want to see you do well, and continue leading for years to come. If you wish to contact me right now, do so here.
If you are simply looking for some strategies to get organized, be more productive, and better manage your time and stress at work, these basic productivity skills will help.

When you have time, return here and read one leader's account of the importance of work life balance. He outlines how he felt he gained it back by paying attention to his overload and burnout.
“A great deal of this new insight for me I owe to your continually love and wisdom ... Thanks for struggling in the past. Thanks for being human.” Attorney
I have observed a progression of rising intensity, from unhealthy stress, to overload, to burnout.
It isn't uncommon to have potential clients contact me who are experiencing overload, one step removed from all-out burnout. There are a lot of leaders and professionals experiencing this today. Even feeling overloaded for a long period of time is serious. But ...
We'll follow four practical steps I've refined over many years of consistent coaching with leaders and professionals.
PREVENTION
Increase capacity for future resilience:
Work on increasing your capacity to deal with hard stuff that will always come up. Develop resilience to see you through when it does happen. Reduce the possibility of burnout every occurring again.
RESOLUTION
Deal with your immediate situation:
First I help you find and implement some achievable actions you can take immediately to reduce the intensity you’re experiencing. This is designed to let you get some space to work on solutions.
TRANSITION
Find and adopt new strategies:
Something obviously isn't working. Next, I’ll help you move from a stressful to a manageable situation as you put in place new strategies that you are in control of moving forward.
CONTINUITY
Move forward with consistent results:
I coach you through any adjustments needed to lock in consistent results, focusing on a more sustainable and positive forward movement. Recover balance and regain performance.
“Greetings Gary. You don't know me, but you know my husband, xxx. I just want to thank you for the wonderful impact you are having on his life. He is gaining new insights to his situation each time you talk, and I wanted you know I am grateful.
I am grateful for the slow, steady advice you offer. xxx tends to like to react quickly, and you have caused him to pause and assess his situation in many ways.
We both are benefiting from the things you share. I just wanted to let you know you are appreciated by us today.”
