Signs You Are Ready to Work with a Burnout Coach

1

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 that pace.

2

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.

3

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 the Burnout Coach Serving Lakeway: 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

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

Leadership That Lasts

The aim is not simply to recover. It is to build a different relationship with your work and your role as a leader, rooted in purpose and designed to hold up over time.

I have been working with Shelley for the past 2 years on my leadership development journey. Shelley supported me as I took a deep dive into my professional and personal history. She helped me to slow down and recognize certain behaviors and understand that I can pivot in the moment. Ultimately, my work with Shelley turned out to be so much more than what I expected.

Working with Shelley was instrumental in creating the results and change I was after. She adeptly pivots insight from years of corporate experience into leadership coaching and teaching. Initially hard-won progress accumulated, gained momentum, and became second nature. If you'd like to be accountable for your change and growth, I recommend Shelley and True North Coaching.

I highly recommend Shelley if you need a coach, thought partner, and guide. She provides practical tools and advice, but 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!

Questions About Burnout Coaching

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.
