Ten minutes in the car - how to come home as you!

I talk to leaders all the time about their experiencing, dealing with, or denying, burnout, and this might be you.

Some people just sit in their car for ten minutes before they go inside. Not on the phone, not doing anything, just sitting. It isn't laziness and it isn't avoidance. It's just like a decompression chamber.

There isn't enough left at the end of the day to walk through that door as the person your family is expecting.

So you buy ten minutes to just reassemble yourself first. And you performed perfectly well at work that day. Nobody there would guess.

But that's the thing about this. It shows up at home long before it shows up in your results or at work, which is exactly why and how it can run for years. Here's what it looks like when you get your full flight capacity coming back to you.

You park, you go in, and you're the same person on both sides of the door.

The trainable part here isn't stamina, it's design. Deciding where the cost of your day falls rather than only how large it is. Which meeting sits at four rather than five o'clock? What you do in the last twenty minutes? Where the hard conversation goes during the week?

Just small structural choices and changes, none of which needs anyone's permission. We're not changing the world here. We're making incremental changes to your work design.

So if that was you, maybe the capacity map for high performers which just takes about four minutes to complete will shine the light you need right now?. The result goes to nobody but you.

And then reach out and ask me about our Full Flight program. Or share this with someone who needs to read it.

I'd love to give you (or them) back to the family and the workplace.

You know where to find me.
