Burnout Recovery: Strategies for Professionals

Ep#210 You Don’t Need a New Year - You Need a New Standard


Listen Later

If you’re back at work and already quietly overloaded — you’re not broken.

January often pretends everything resets, while your nervous system, responsibilities, and expectations clearly don’t.

In this episode, Dex explores why high-performing leaders don’t need new goals, more effort, or a “new you” — they need a new standard.

Drawing on Dan Sullivan’s concepts of The Gap and The Gain and 10x thinking, this episode reframes overwhelm, pressure, and ambition — and shows how leadership energy is restored by raising standards, not expectations.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why January motivation often collapses — and why that’s not a failure
  • The difference between goals, standards, and unrealistic ideals
  • How unexamined standards quietly drain leaders
  • Why burnout isn’t about caring too much — but outgrowing old rules
  • How to move from The Gap to The Gain in everyday leadership
  • What real 10x leadership looks like (and what it isn’t)
  • The one question to ask in your first week back at work

This episode is for leaders who want high performance without self-betrayal — and results that don’t cost their health, relationships, or joy.
