Brandon Cox – Coaching Christian Leaders From Burnout to Breakthrough

There are 20 questions. Answer each one "from the gut" and don't overthink them.

I lack the confidence I used to have. Instead of feeling passionate about leadership, I want to withdraw.(Required)

I find myself hoping that people just don't ask me how things are going because I don't want to fake positivity.(Required)

I’m tired all the time, yet I’m unable to fall asleep because I can’t stop thinking about the problems I’m facing in my organization.(Required)

I’m afraid that every email, text, or phone call is going to be something negative and draining, so I avoid them.(Required)

I find myself hiding from relationships, canceling meetings, and feeling a sense of dread about events on my calendar.(Required)

I “check out” and escape, either through mindless entertainment, social media “doomscrolling,” or overusing alcohol or other substances.(Required)

I’m skeptical when other leaders talk in positive terms about their experiences and wonder why I don't experience the same.(Required)

I find myself putting the bare minimum into the leadership tasks that I used to enjoy the most.(Required)

I feel like the whole world keeps getting darker and more depressing and that there aren’t any real solutions to the problems we face.(Required)

I struggle to trust people, believing that most people will eventually hurt me, personally or professionally.(Required)

I feel fake in the positive messages I share as a leader. I can still inspire the team, but I feel like I’m drowning.(Required)

I’m avoiding prayer, the reading of scripture, and talking to God about the issues with which I’m struggling.(Required)

I lack the motivation to take basic care of myself in terms of getting sleep, exercising, and eating well.(Required)

Instead of reading the latest insights on leadership, I want to retreat into the spaces where people don’t look to me to lead.(Required)

I feel underappreciated or unseen. It seems as though people are quick to complain but slow to express compliments.(Required)

I daydream about the possibility of leaving my profession to do something entirely different to achieve peace.(Required)

I get disproportionately angry about things - not just leadership issues, but issues I face daily in my own personal life.(Required)

I feel as if I no longer fit in or belong in my organization even though I once felt right at home.(Required)

I am less hopeful now about the future of my particular industry (or of the church-at-large, if a church leader).(Required)

While I once felt a deep sense of purpose, I now wonder if my leadership actually matters that much.(Required)
