Question 20

How to reduce coach burnout?

Accepted Answer

You reduce coach burnout by having an open mind, focusing on behaviors more than outcomes, and performing honest self-assessments. Being a coach can be challenging work and mentally and physically exhausting.

One of the most important steps to reducing coach burnout is to understand what it looks like in the first place. Some signs of coach burnout are:

Trouble falling or staying asleep
Feeling fatigued, spaced out, or dizzy
Heart palpitations
Loss of appetite or comfort eating
Upset stomach
Headaches
Migraines
Tooth grinding
Jaw pain
Chronic aches or pains
Hair loss
Anxiety
Difficulty concentrating or poor memory
Feeling resentful
Feeling disconnected

After understanding some of the symptoms, you can be more mindful and try to reduce burnout. One way of doing this is by having an open mind. This means seeing everything as an opportunity and a new challenge. Every problem is an opportunity to find a solution.

Coaches are the subject of heavy criticism and this can be daunting and frustrating. To that end, it is important to not focus on the negative aspects. Instead, look at:

Why did things happen that way?
Could things have happened differently?
Is there a new way I could have tried to solve the problem?

This mindset will help you to focus on the positive and how you can make things better. It can also help you to embrace the effort involved and to feel inspired to find new processes, ideas, and solutions. This can also help you to embrace feedback and to find it useful rather than critical. Similarly, focusing on behaviors more than outcomes can greatly reduce the chances of coach burnout.

For most coaches, the expectations of their clients are very high. The problem with this is trying to meet those expectations and falling short. The more you try to control the outcomes, the more frustrated you (and your team or clients) can become.

Instead, it is important to focus on what you can control like being open-minded and behaving. Figure out what behaviors support the end goals and break those behaviors up into smaller daily habits. For example, if you have a client that wants to lose 40 pounds, they can change their behaviors to include working out 4 days per week.

Practicing healthy habits consistently will help to achieve outcomes that are healthier and more sustainable.

Lastly, it is important, to be honest with yourself about your health and well-being to avoid burnout. This means doing an honest assessment of where you are mentally, physically, and emotionally. Your body and your emotions will give you signals that it is hurting. Pay attention to what your body is trying to communicate to you.
