Signs You Are Ready to Work with a Burnout Coach

You cannot remember the last time work felt like something worth doing.

You are still putting up results, but what used to drive you has slowly gone quiet. You keep moving through the days and wondering how much longer you can hold.

You feel like you have lost your footing as a leader.

You hit the goals you worked toward, yet something still feels off. The career is real, but the sense of purpose has not followed, and you are unsure what comes next for you.

You are tired of getting through each day rather than actually living it.

You know there is a way to lead that feels whole and worth it, but getting there on your own has not worked.

Meet Your Cedar Park Burnout Coach: Shelley Pernot, ICF PCC

Shelley Pernot understands burnout because she has lived it. She spent years building a career, working in risk management in London, earning an MBA from Erasmus Rotterdam School of Management, and hitting every external milestone while quietly wearing herself down. That experience shapes everything she brings to her coaching work.

Today, Shelley is among the most credentialed burnout coaches for women in the Lakeway area, bringing a combination of corporate background, formal coach training, and mindfulness practice to every client she works with.

How the Coaching Process Works

Discovery Call

The first step is a free 30-minute conversation to talk through where you are, what you are dealing with, and whether working together makes sense for you.

Assessment and Clarity

Shelley draws on proven leadership assessments to help you understand your patterns, including the thinking and behaviors that are feeding your burnout.

Sessions with Your Burnout Coach

In regular one-on-one sessions, you and Shelley work through both the practical and personal sides of your burnout, building new approaches and new habits as a leader at the same time.

Leadership That Lasts

What Coaches Are Saying

"It was a privilege to work with Shelley as my leadership coach! The process was structured and yet flexible enough to meet needs as they arose. Shelley helped me to grow, learn more about myself, and to really achieve what I set out to accomplish. We worked on planning, navigating a promotion successfully, and so much more! I experienced many successes as a result of working with Shelley, she has great resources, knowledge, and really helps with setting the foundation to this coaching work. She won’t let you down!"

Stacy Campos
Regional Coordinator
"Having the opportunity to have Shelley as my Leadership Coach could not have come at a better time in my career. I was recently promoted to CFO and was new to the Senior Management Team. Shelley helped me navigate joining the team as well as helped me to determine who I wanted to be as a leader. The Leadership Circle Profile helped our team to discover our blinds spots and to be able to understand each other better. Working with Shelley not only has affected my professional life in a positive way, but also my personal life. She helped me take leaps and has given me the resources to continue this journey of self-improvement. If you’re looking to find more about yourself and how you can be the best version of yourself, I highly recommend working with Shelley."

Kristen Spedale
CFO
"I have been working with Shelley for the past 2 years on my leadership development journey. What I thought would be a straight line, I soon learned with Shelley’s guidance, was a winding path with several ups and downs along the way. Shelley supported me as I took a deep dive into my professional and personal history and learned how it affects my approach and my perceptions. She helped me to slow down and recognize certain behaviors and understand that I can pivot in the moment or try again next time. Ultimately, my work with Shelley turned out to be so much more than what I expected. Her approach to coaching was exactly what I needed."

Nicole Naassan
Senior Vice President, Consulting
"I've learned more about leadership in the past six months working with Shelley than I have in my 10+ year career. She is an incredible coach with many tools in her toolbox. The guidance and mentorship I've received from Shelley has been life-changing. She will challenge your limiting beliefs and inspire new ways of thinking."

Margaret Soltis
Creative Director
"I highly recommend Shelley if you need a coach, thought partner, and guide as you consider the next steps in your career. Most importantly, she is an expert at helping you cut through the noise of your limiting beliefs. At the end of our time together, I had a much clearer vision of what I wanted in my life and a plan to make it happen. My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner!"

Elizabeth Magnus
"My coaching sessions with Shelley have brought me back to living. It’s been contagious, spreading throughout my personal and professional life. I now have the building blocks I need to continue setting healthy boundaries, the freedom to show up as my authentic self, and an adaption of a growth mindset that has allowed me to make bold decisions and try new things. I’ve discovered that there’s always another way and how to eradicate barriers that lead to tunnel vision. These sessions with Shelley have been a great gift and have given me the momentum I need to continue the journey to be my best self."

Teasha Houston
Art Director
"It is amazing to think where I was only 10 months ago when I first started working with Shelley and where I am now. Not only professionally but mentally and emotionally. Shelley helped me navigate out of an unhealthy work environment by challenging me and asking me those tough questions we never seem to ask ourselves. What are the values of a true leader? How do those values align with my own? Shelley challenging me and guiding me through some of those tough questions is what led to my epiphany and me having the courage and confidence to leave an environment that threatened my well-being. She taught me how to become more self-aware and self-compassionate. Reminded me to be kind even when the world would understand if I did otherwise. And the biggest one for me, shutting down that crazy inner voice (we all have it!) and replacing it with being present. Shelley has armed me with tools that I will carry with me for a lifetime. Tools that will help me to continue to grow and learn. Life can be hard but working with someone like Shelley does make it easier. She will help you navigate the good and the bad and you’ll learn so much about yourself in the process."

Frequently Asked Questions

Burnout coaching is a structured, goal-focused process that helps professionals find the root causes of their exhaustion and build a path toward energy and fulfillment that holds up over time. Sessions with Shelley are conducted one-on-one, virtually, and tailored to your situation. Rather than looking backward at what went wrong, coaching looks forward at where you want to go and what is standing between you and that.
Therapy is designed to address past trauma and clinical mental health conditions. Coaching is present and future focused, building the skills, perspective shifts, and leadership habits that help you move forward. Shelley is not a therapist, and coaching does not replace mental health care. Many clients find that working with both a therapist and a coach at the same time produces the best results.
Shelley works primarily with women in professional and leadership roles, including executives, managers, and entrepreneurs who are navigating burnout or working to prevent it. If you feel worn out, unfulfilled, or disconnected from your purpose at work, this coaching is built for you.
Most clients work with Shelley for six to nine months, though the length depends on your goals and where you are when you begin. Real, lasting change takes time, and Shelley structures her work around that truth rather than making promises about fast results.
Coaching with Shelley takes place virtually through video sessions, making it possible to participate from wherever you are. Many clients find that virtual appointments are easier to fit into a full schedule, which matters when your time is already spoken for.
Yes. Alongside individual burnout coaching and leadership coaching for women, Shelley offers training programs for organizations. If you want to bring burnout prevention or leadership development to your team, get in touch to talk through what that could look like.
