Today I am interviewing Lexie Bykova who is a Leadership coach & resilience and change mentor.
 
Lexie shares from a place of experiencing burnout herself, she shares how we should differentiate between stress and burnout - stress can be characterised by over-engagement — or doing too much — whereas burnout often leads to disengagement — or not doing enough — and feeling emotionally blunted.

Feel dissatisfied even when you achieve things 5. Find it hard to concentrate. Lexie goes on to share how to deal with burnout.
