Coaching Burnout

Learn how to coach through burnout—without burning yourself out.

Help people reconnect to purpose, energy, and work that matters

Working in demanding roles, under constant pressure, in an increasingly unstable world leads to burnout.

It sounds like overwhelm. It looks like resistance. It can feel like frustration, hopelessness, or complete shutdown.

And when it shows up in your coaching conversations, it can feel like you’re not making progress, or worse, like nothing will change.

With the right skills, these moments become focused, grounded, and impactful. Instead of cycles of venting or disengagement, you help clients make meaning of what they’re experiencing and move forward with clarity, agency, and renewed purpose.

Coaching Burnout builds on the knowledge and skills introduced in Arise: The Art of Transformational Coaching. You’ll learn how to work with clients’ reactions not as problems to fix, but as signals to explore, sources of insight that lead to meaningful change.

As you build your capacity to coach through burnout, you’ll strengthen your own resilience, too.

These skills transform coaching conversations and help create workplaces where people can stay, grow, and find energy in their work again.

What Our Community is Saying

"This workshop is so helpful in coaching the whole person. We work hard to teach the whole child, but sometimes we forget to do the same with adults. The ACE process is a game changer for the coaching experience."

What Our Community is Saying

"This workshop helped me approach my clients in a more understanding way, leading to more effective support. I really enjoyed the opportunity to role-play and get real-time feedback. I was in breakout rooms with educators who are not coaches, and I think it was important for them to be there - we can all use some support on how to acknowledge emotions."

My favorite part of being a Bright Morning member is the opportunity to access so many workshops in community with others, and a bank of resources to work through alone. It has been rigorous and invigorating!

Since becoming Bright Morning members, our district has adopted a culture of coaching. One of the most impactful and widespread practices has been the implementation of coaching role-play triads. Utilizing Elena’s various coaching toolkits has provided our leaders and coaches with the necessary language and framing to address real-life scenarios. We have been successfully implementing these strategies across all of our leadership and coaching PLCs.

I love having a Bright Morning membership because it gives me access to an incredible range of resources any time I need them. I have participated in many workshops that provide practical and immediately applicable tools. The membership also offers two different PLCs as safe spaces to think out loud with other school leaders, collaborate, and problem-solve together. As a first year coach at my school, I've especially appreciated the opportunity to meet one-on-one with Bright Morning coaches who have strengthened my practice. I'd absolutely recommend a Bright Morning membership for new or experienced school leaders, instructional coaches, or anyone serving in a leadership role.

My favorite part of being a Bright Morning member is the access to the incredible resources associated with our membership. Bright Morning is already generous with the free tools they provide educators and, as a member, there’s even more access. Another favorite part of my membership is that the incredible trainers actually show us how to use the tools in Elena’s books for full impact. I’ve learned so much about myself and my work and have leveled up my skills as both a coach and trainer. This membership is the gift that keeps giving!

After becoming a Bright Morning member, I feel better equipped to coach emotions, and I recognize the importance of my presence in a coaching conversation. I appreciate having resources and tools from the Team Leader Learning Library, which has supported me to be more intentional in how I'm leading my team of coaches and mentors. My whole team having memberships has also been great because we've been using common language and working from new learning together. I recommend a Bright Morning Membership to coaches who want to enhance or refresh their skills and be more mindful and intentional in their coaching practices. It would also be helpful for a leader who wants to learn and be reminded of how to lead well, build trust, rebuild health within a team, and take their teamwork to the next level.
