Overcoming Burnout (Ep. 9)
What happens when the drive fades? Reclaiming clarity, self-respect, and momentum when work no longer feels like it fits.
ListenFoundations & clarity • Professional story • Action & outreach • Alignment & sustainability
You’ve built a solid career — maybe in hospitality, retail, or another service-driven field — but lately it feels off. You’ve grown, but the job hasn’t. You’re not sure what you want next, just that it isn’t this. That’s where we start.
Career Change Coaching with John is a flexible, four-segment process that helps you slow down, get clear on what you need, and rebuild momentum toward the kind of work that actually fits you.
The program is divided into four segments — each designed to meet you where you are. You can move through them in order or start where you need the most support.
Before you move, get clear. We unpack how you see yourself, what motivates you, and what’s been holding you back. We identify your professional needs — the conditions where you actually do your best work — and start untangling the beliefs that keep you stuck.
Outcome: clarity, language for your values, and a renewed sense of direction.
Turn clarity into communication. We translate your strengths and needs into a story that makes sense of where you’ve been and points to what’s next — without apology. We sharpen your résumé, LinkedIn, and most importantly, how you talk about your work in real conversations.
Outcome: a true-to-you story, tools that represent you, and language that opens doors.
Confidence meets practice. We build an outreach rhythm you’ll actually keep, target roles that fit your needs, and prepare for interviews as real conversations. If negotiation is on the table, we cover that too.
Outcome: a practical outreach plan, interview readiness, and steady momentum.
The goal isn’t just landing a job — it’s building a career that keeps fitting. We define what success looks like for you, create a realistic roadmap, and set habits that prevent backsliding into burnout.
Outcome: a personalized path forward and systems that keep you aligned over time.
No. Each segment stands alone. We start where you need support most and only continue if it’s helping.
Yes—if you’re already clear on your needs, we can move directly into brand building or job search support.
Four one-hour calls, typically over 3–5 weeks. A tight cadence on purpose—clarity fades when we wait too long.
$425 per segment, paid upfront. Segments are independent—no packages, no lock-ins.
Perfect. Segment 1 is built for that—clarity on who you are now, what you need, and what to stop chasing.
Yes—Segment 2 shapes your story; Segment 3 covers outreach, interviews, and negotiation.
Absolutely. We translate leadership, operations, and people skills into roles that fit your needs and pay.
We adjust pace and expectations. The focus is momentum without burnout—clarity and stability first.
Short, practical homework: reflections, drafts, and outreach templates. I hold you accountable—lightly but firmly.
No. It’s coaching: direct, practical, and future-focused. We’ll talk about beliefs—but we act on them.
Yes. Finish one, apply it, and return when you’re ready for the next stage.

ListenUsing short-term or contract work to test lanes, rebuild confidence, and keep your network alive while you pivot.
ListenThe job market feels off. On one hand, we’re surrounded by opportunity—endless postings, smart technology, the promise of AI making everything easier. On the other, there’s a quiet sense of desperation: people struggling to find work, jobs staying open for months, and a disconnect between what’s needed and what’s available. How can both things be true?
