Why Burnout Coaching Matters Now

Burnout is no longer a buzzword. The World Health Organization classifies it as an occupational phenomenon, and studies show over 75% of people will experience it during their career. Chances are your clients already are. You’ve seen the signs - fatigue that doesn’t fade, disengagement that feels like autopilot, and the frustrating gap between what they could achieve and what they’re delivering today.
And, as a coach, you are often the first line of support. They dont always go to HR, but they will show up to a coaching session carrying a level of stress they cant fully name. But without a clear framework and practical tools, it is impossible to uncover the root causes of burnout and effectively move people from barely surviving to building resilience.
