Bye Burnout is a coaching program for humanitarians, expatriates and accompanying spouses who want to prevent burnout, look after their well-being and bounce back from a professional or parental burnout.

Bye Burnout also helps you to clarify your post-burnout career orientation and prepare for your return back to work to avoid any relapse.
You're feeling tired and under stress...
- You lack energy and zest.
- You're on all fronts, dealing with other people's emergencies to the detriment of what's important to you.
- You feel like a slow cooker that can't let off steam!
- Your head is full of injunctions: ‘I should...’, ‘I’ve got to...’, ‘Hurry up!’, ‘Be nice!’, ‘Make sure!’, ‘Don't complain’!
- You feel you always must do more and better, with no room for error.
- You’ve lost your optimism, your motivation and feel a general sense of frustration.
- Your day-to-day life is no longer fun or joyful.
You realize there are signs…
- It's harder to fall asleep and you wake up tired.
- You can't switch off or recover properly, even with time off.
- You feel less efficient, productive and focused.
- You're more emotional than usual or often irritated, frustrated or angry.
- You find yourself no longer listening, patient or empathetic.
- You start to lose confidence in yourself and your skills.
- You tend to isolate yourself and ruminate a lot.
- You question the meaning of your work and lifestyle.
- Sometimes you can even be a bit cynical!
You carry on regardless, because you say to yourself:
- It's just a slump, a bit of stress, nothing serious, I'm managing!
- Anyway, I have no choice, I can't stop, too many people and things depend on me.
- Stress is part of my life and that's just the way it is!
- I just must get through the next few weeks and then I'll be okay.
- I've been through worse, I'll be fine, I must be strong.
But deep down you know... you can't go on like this!
Your batteries are empty, and this lack of energy impacts your life and work. You want to get out of this vicious cycle! You'd like to understand what's happening to you, how to better take care for yourself and get your energy back!
That's why you're here today!
The good news is that you've come to the right place at the right time... and I'll tell why!
There are 2 essential keys to taking care of yourself and your energy!
Taming your inner Off-Road Pilot!
Your inner Off-Road Pilot gives high value to work and/or parenting. He's committed, willing, invested, responsible and loyal! He's competent, efficient, adaptable and proactive. He's resilient and doesn't give up. He wants to do well and please. He's empathetic and respects others.
This part of you is so extraordinary that those around you and/or your employer rely on you enormously. To the point of asking a lot of you all the time! And it's precisely this part of you that makes you forget yourself along the way!
The key here is to tame this off-road driver within you, so that you can concretely identify how to take care of yourself!
Understanding how your energy battery works!
Your energy level impacts every area of your life! Without energy, you can't hope to be efficient, available, think clearly, take a step back, make the right decisions, unleash your creativity, look after others, boost your self-confidence and make successful life and career transitions.
And yet, there's a good chance you don't really know how to check your battery gauge, detect and plug energy leaks, limit internal and external pressures and recharge your battery efficiently.
The key here is to value every little action towards your goal: that’s what keeps you enjoying the process and staying in the action. comprendre comment fonctionne ta batterie énergétique pour l’alimenter efficacement et durablement.
These two keys are an integral part of my ‘Bye Burnout’ program.
A totally personalized program!
‘Bye Burnout’ allows you to identify what YOU need! So, you can look after your well-being, boost your energy, prevent burnout or bounce back after a burnout!

Questions & Answers on Bye Burnout
If you're off work, you will need to be under the care of your doctor and/or a psychologist. Having said that, my program is complementary to this medical support. My program will help you take action. It also helps you to maximize and sustain the benefits of your therapy. I regularly have clients who follow these two approaches simultaneously. At our introductory session, we'll clarify what your current energy level is and from there assess when the best time is to start working together. If you would like to discuss this, please contact me for an introductory session. .
Yes, this program is highly recommended after a burnout. It enables you to prevent a relapse by helping you to clarify the way you function and by helping you to put in place concrete actions to sustainably nourish your energy.
In addition, as mentioned above, following a burnout, it's common to ask yourself some fundamental questions about your post-burnout career path. This is an option that I offer and which you can include, if you wish, in your support.

Sure, this program will help you to clarify what you need to regain and maintain your energy. It will help you improve your well-being at work and at home, so you can prevent exhaustion, whether is it is a professional or parental burnout. You'll also learn how to look after your mental and emotional health and how to achieve a healthy balance in your life.
Of course, it clearly considers the challenges faced by humanitarian workers.
I'm aware of your realities, having worked in the humanitarian sector for 13 years: 3 years in international solidarity, 8 years in emergency contexts with the International Committee of the Red Cross and 2 years at headquarters in Geneva.
I know from experience that it is particularly difficult to take care of oneself and one's energy as a humanitarian. It’s therefore essential to consider the constraints and realities of humanitarian workers.
That's why I wanted to create a program that would address the specific challenges faced by aid workers, both in the field and at headquarters, who want to avoid burnout and take care of their well-being.
Yes, it certainly takes into account the particular challenges faced by expatriate spouses, who are often isolated and misunderstood. I've been an accompanying spouse myself for 11 years, and I know how taboo the subject of parental well-being and burnout is while abroad.
En tant que conjoint.e accompagnant.e, tu endosses le rôle de pilier familial sur lequel repose le bien-être de toute la famille. À ce titre, tu te retrouves avec de multiples casquettes. Et en conséquence, tu fais face à une énorme charge mentale, souvent exacerbée par les récurrents changements et périodes d’incertitudes. En plus, malgré ce qu’en pense souvent l’entourage, tu as peu d’opportunités pour vraiment prendre soin de toi et de ton énergie.
This is what prompted me to create a program that addresses the specific issues faced by accompanying expatriate spouses who want to regain their energy and take care not only of their family's well-being, but also of themselves!
Tout à fait ! Quand tu vis et travailles à l’étranger, tu fais face à beaucoup de stress lié à ta mobilité internationale. En plus ton style de vie a un impacte bien plus large qu’uniquement le travail. En tant qu’expatrié, tu fais souvent face à beaucoup de changements et d’incertitudes pour tous les domaines de ta vie. Tu dois constamment t’adapter dans le cadre de ton travail et de ta vie quotidienne. À l’étranger, il est aussi courant de se retrouver un peu seul face à ses propres difficultés.
Je connais cette vie d’expat, vu que je suis moi-même multi-expatriée depuis 30 ans ! Je sais combien c’est courant de s’épuiser et combien c’est parfois stressant et compliqué, malgré la perception extérieure trop angélique de notre vie d’expat !
C’est pourquoi j’ai voulu créer ce programme pour aider les expatriés à retrouver l’énergie dont ils ont besoin et éviter l’épuisement face aux multiples enjeux de leur vie et carrière à l’étranger, et ceux aussi lors du retour d’expatriation.
As long as you are fully committed to this program, you will inevitably gain an excellent understanding of how to take good care of yourself and your energy.
At the start of the program, we'll work together to define the goals you want to achieve by the end of the program. This is what will enable us to ensure that you achieve them. During the introductory session, my clients often mention the fact that they've already tried everything and never succeeded... and yet everyone, without exception, has achieved their coaching goals!
Ce programme est complémentaire au travail effectué avec un psychologue. “Bye Burnout” t’aide à passer à l’action. Ce programme t’aide aussi à maximiser et pérenniser les bienfaits de ta thérapie. J’ai régulièrement des clients et clientes qui suivent ces deux approches simultanément.
If you need any clarification, contact me so we can discuss it! I get in touch with Nancy.
Depending on the package you choose, this program includes 8 or 10 individual coaching sessions with 8 or 10 exercise modules. The length of the program depends on the regularity of our sessions. I generally suggest that we meet once a fortnight, which means that the program lasts between 4 to 5 months, depending on the package. It's a short program (although at this stage you might think otherwise). The good news is that you'll feel a positive impact on your energy levels right from the start. In the introductory session, we can discuss the frequency and duration most appropriate to your situation and schedule.
Yes, you can follow this program whatever your personal or professional situation or status.
