A short snapshot and reframe of my burnout journey as told by me.

I'm a burnout survivor turned entrepreneur, founder, CEO, and head coach at Lead with Jessica. My journey through the highs and lows of corporate leadership has given me a unique perspective on what it means to thrive in tightly wound environments.
With up to a decade of experience managing teams of 5 to 30 people across multi-million-dollar sites, I've gained firsthand knowledge of the challenges leaders face.
In early 2023, I experienced significant burnout, a turning point that led me to reassess my approach to work, leadership and what I'd like my new life to look like. This experience motivated me to become a certified coach, specialising in helping individuals, leaders and organisations overcome and prevent burnout.

(Here's a picture of me during the throes of my burnout experience with one of my two pet cats, Saffy- A very supportive helper who takes payment via crunchy cat biscuits and attention).
Through Lead with Jessica, I aim to provide the guidance and support I wish had been available to me during my own recovery. My mission is to help individuals, leaders, and businesses navigate the pressures of their roles with compassion and resilience, focusing on well-being and sustainability.
The World Health Organisation has recognised burnout as "an occupational phenomenon," and I believe it's crucial to address this issue by creating environments where people can thrive without sacrificing their health or happiness.
I aim to make a positive impact by empowering others to lead with empathy and resilience, ensuring they have the support needed to avoid the pitfalls of burnout or to get through it. Whether you're a leader seeking to prevent burnout or someone looking to recover from its effects, I'm here to help guide you on your journey to success and well-being.
