🎙️ Episode 11: From Burnout to Balance – Building a Leadership Lifestyle That Doesn’t Break You
Host: Dr. Fredrick Lee II | Leadership Lessons Podcast

Description:
Burnout isn’t just a leadership inconvenience—it’s a warning sign. And for many high-performing professionals, especially those holding space for others, burnout creeps in long before it’s ever acknowledged.

In this episode of Leadership Lessons, Dr. Fredrick Lee II explores what burnout really is, how it manifests in leadership, and why emotional intelligence (EQ) isn’t a “soft skill”—it’s the foundation of sustainable leadership.

You’ll learn how to:

Identify the early warning signs of burnout
Use emotional intelligence to stop the cycle of over-functioning
Build protective habits and boundaries that support clarity, calm, and longevity
Apply four key EQ competencies—self-awareness, impulse control, reality testing, and stress tolerance—to your everyday leadership
Rethink what it means to be a “strong” leader without sacrificing your wellbeing

📚 Backed by insights from the World Health Organization, Harvard Business Review, Gallup, and the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, this episode provides both research and practical strategies to help you lead from a place of balance and resilience.

Whether you’re an executive, people manager, entrepreneur, or carrying invisible labor at work—this conversation is for you.
