You know something's off

Your vision is clear, your mission matters, and you're making real impact.

But lately, you've been feeling like you're carrying more weight than usual.

Your star performer who used to volunteer for everything? Now they just do what's asked.

Your most reliable team member who never missed a beat? They seem distracted, maybe even a little distant.

That leader you count on most? They're still showing up, but something's just... different.

You can't quite put your finger on it, but the energy isn't the same.

What's really going on

Here's what you're probably noticing but haven't said out loud yet:

• People aren't as engaged in meetings anymore.

• Ideas that used to get everyone excited now get polite nods.

• Your team still hits deadlines, but the spark is gone.

• You find yourself having to check in more, follow up more, carry more.

• And honestly? You're tired too.

Your people aren't lazy or ungrateful. They're just running on empty.

And when good people run on empty, they start looking around. They start questioning if this is sustainable. They start updating their resumes.

The scary part is that by the time someone tells you they're burned out, they've probably been feeling it for months.
