The Burnout Behind Peak Performance and What We Can Do About It (Warsaw Confidential Podcast)

Jun 24

This is a conversation I wish I had heard years ago...

But without the journey I’d been on, I wouldn’t be sitting in this chair today.

So having this chat, in Poland, my home country that I left at 18 to build my career, made it even more special.

I was recently invited to speak on the Warsaw Confidential podcast hosted by Kamal Jahid, where we went deep into a topic I now work with daily, but used to quietly struggle with myself: High-achieving burnout. The kind that hides behind success, productivity, and polished performance.

We talked about:

What burnout looks like when you're still "functioning"
The invisible toll of always being “on”
My transition from corporate London & Dubai to becoming a Peak Performance & Holistic Coach
How to shift out of survival mode and into sustainable energy and clarity

This conversation was personal. But it’s also professional. Because today, this is the work I do.

I help forward-thinking companies boost team focus, energy, and performance, without burning people out.

The reality? Burnout doesn’t always look like crisis.

It often shows up in your highest performers:

The overachievers
The problem-solvers
The ones who never say no

These are the very people organisations depend on.

And when their wellbeing suffers, performance quietly drops - along with creativity, decision-making, and morale.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

In this episode, we explore not only how I recovered from burnout but how leaders and teams can create environments that fuel sustainable high performance.

Because when you invest in your people’s wellbeing, you don’t just prevent burnout.

You unlock their best work.
