When I met this group of educational leaders, it was clear they were nearing burnout (or already were there) and didn’t even know it.

As a performance consultant, I helped them to reimagine a sense of control over their boundaries, thoughts and work schedules. I had them reconnect to their “why” and to dive into the mindsets driving stress. Some of the participating superintendents believed rest to be unproductive. They were forgoing sleep and time with loved ones, in spite of research indicating sleep deprivation decreases personal productivity and increases the risk for burnout.
