Understanding Burnout and the Need for Recovery

Burnout is not resolved simply by changing jobs; rather, it often requires intentional reflection and recovery. Individuals often mistakenly believe that leaving a corporate role will automatically alleviate their burnout, but this does not address the underlying issues. Taking time to recover and clearly define the next steps is crucial for lasting change. Acknowledging that many cannot afford a complete break from work, finding a 'bridge role' can provide the necessary space to reset and transition effectively.
