Corporate high achiever turned burnout fighter

One day I realised: I wasn’t able to read

Sounds like a minor inconvenience?

Well, to me, that was a red flag the size of the good state of Texas - my body was done with my overworking myself.

Not being able to read, for someone whose job relied on reading and interpreting tax legislation and guidance was, was disabling. I quite literally wasn’t able to work.

And that’s when I really knew:

Burnout was a serious problem that needed to be taken seriously.

I developed my own way out of burnout. A way of simple, small, everyday steps that have a powerful, lasting impact.

That’s how The Un-Specialist was born.

This time, it’s about you

If you’re reading this, you’re either:

  • an exhausted consultant who is searching for a solution to the constant tiredness, sudden dislike (or even hatred!) of their job, who no longer enjoys things that used to make you super happy, has stomach problems, headaches, a never-ending cold, and sometimes dreams about being hit by a bus on the way to work (but just lightly - enough to get you to hospital, but not enough to injure you seriously); or

  • a team leader who has noticed that their team member(s) are struggling - their utilisation is down, their enjoyment is at rock bottom, they’re cynical and overall seem to be suffering through their work when in the past they were full of energy. And the most concerning thing is - they’re the high performers.

Whichever one of these two applies to you, I can help. I’ve got you.

You don’t have to be going through this alone anymore.

My approach

There is no universal solution

Every person and organisation is unique. I work with you to create a solution that works.

Based on current research

While I respect people's spirituality, I don't include spiritual practices in my work.

Whole life focus

Burnout doesn't just affect a person's professional life. That's why I consider the person as a whole.

I'm with you for the ride

Whether you need me got a lunchtime session or a 12 month programme, I'm invested in your progress.
