Matt Adamson is a Burnout and Career Coach, and features on the Accountancy Hub platform. He specialises in helping professionals achieve success sustainably in all areas of life, with his 20 years of corporate experience, most recently as an Executive Director at UBS

In this episode, Matt shares his personal experience with burnout, noting symptoms can be subtle and often go unrecognised. He reflects on the recovery process, the importance of therapy, and the lessons he learned about self-care and sustainability in one's career. 

We discuss systemic issues in the workplace but the importance of personal choices as well. Matt is a big believer that as an individual we have agency in preventing burnout and developing sustainable success. Sometimes  burnout can be about a disconnect to purpose, self-limiting beliefs, and even a distancing from family and friends.  

This is a brilliant episode for anyone in a senior high pressure role but also accountancy and tax trainees who are in their early careers juggling work/study and a personal life.
