Burnout Awareness for Coaches: Why It Matters and What You Need

We’ll map the burnout landscape—clarifying WHO and Gallup definitions—and translate its implications for the ICF coaching context. We’ll examine why “coach burnout” is both a personal risk and an ethical responsibility that shapes presence, curiosity, and partnership. You’ll surface internal drivers (perfectionism, people-pleasing, workaholism) and external conditions (overload, isolation, lack of control/recognition) and practice reflective, evidence-based tools to spot early warnings, set boundaries, and coach cleanly without crossing into therapy.
