Overview

It's 3am. Again. You're lying awake, mind racing, the same exhausting thoughts cycling through your head for the hundredth time. Worries about work, finances; desperation to find something else - perhaps something more satisfying, more enjoyable, less stressful. But one over-riding thought keeps coming up - ""what's wrong with me?"". If your exhaustion is always there; if your motivation has crashed (along with your confidence); if you're feeling increasingly cynical about work; and if you're feeling trapped and overwhelmed, then it's very possible that you're burning out, but you might not know it, or understand what's happening to you. This book is for the exhausted IT Project Manager, and the frazzled professional, or the mid-career specialist who feels stuck and trapped despite an outward appearance of success. It's for anyone who's been asking themselves ""is this all there is?"" and finding no answers. Written by someone who's been exactly where you are, this isn't another generic self-help book telling you to ""follow your passion"" or ""think positive"". It's a survival guide that will help you understand what's actually happening to you, why your usual problem-solving approaches aren't working, and crucially, how to start taking back control. You'll discover: Why burnout isn't a personal failing, but a signal The three types of burnout and which one is affecting you Why your success has become a cage How to rebuild your confidence and energy Why you can't think your way out of this problem Practical steps to take right now, even when you're exhausted How to turn ""Project You"" into your most important initiative You don't need to stay stuck, waiting until some unknown future time, hoping things will change. And you absolutely don't need to sacrifice your health and wellbeing to maintain a salary that no longer feels worth the cost. It's time to take back control. Your next chapter is waiting. Paul Bridel is a coach specialising in helping exhausted IT Project Leaders and other professionals beat the overwhelm, so they can get back on track or pivot with confidence. For nearly 20 years, Paul worked as an IT Project Manager across a range of organisations, from nationals to muti-nationals. He also burned out. Finding himself trapped between a well-paid job and a desperate need for something different, he spent years struggling in silence, exhausted and unable to see a way forward. That experience of burnout - and the hard-won wisdom that came from working through it - is what drives his work as a coach today. Paul now helps frazzled professionals like you to understand what's really happening, to rebuild their confidence and energy, and to take back control of their careers and their lives. This is his first book. It's the one he wished someone had given him over ten years ago. Paul is based in England, and can be reached via LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/paulbridel
