Episode 23: Burnout, Balance, and the Real Work of Coaching with Nick Gorman
In this raw and resonant episode of Psyche of Sales, Johnny sits down with Nick Gorman, founder of Equilibrium at Work, to explore what happens when high performance collides with mental health.
Nick’s story is a blueprint for how to build something meaningful after burnout. A former institutional sales trader who thrived in the high-stakes world of investment banking, Nick opens up about his decades-long battle with anxiety, burnout, and the turning point that led him to walk away from a top job and into a life of purpose.
Together, Johnny and Nick cover:
- The real drivers of burnout, and how to spot it before it breaks you
- Why traditional coaching models often fall short (and what to do instead)
- The quiet power of cold water therapy, non-negotiables, and real connection
- Why progressive organisations are embracing coach-led wellbeing without asking for performance reports
- Honest advice for leaders who are unknowingly creating the very problems they’re trying to fix
This episode is for you if you’re a high-performer hanging on by a thread, a leader trying to do better by your team, or simply curious about what truly effective coaching looks like.
