Rich Mitchell is a a certified Life Coach through The Life Coach School. He helps high achieving professionals overcome burnout so they can get fired up about their personal and professional lives. He is a Life Coach for single dads on a mission to help single dads level up to their fullest potential.
In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, Larry Hagner interviews Rich Mitchell who shares his personal experience with burnout and how it led to him losing his job. Rich Mitchell discusses the symptoms of burnout, including disengagement and distraction, and emphasizes the importance of addressing burnout to prevent others from going through the same struggles.
One of the ways Rich Mitchell describes his burnout is through his engagement in various distractions. He admits to looking at his phone during work and avoiding people he was supposed to work with. These actions demonstrate a lack of focus and disinterest in his job, which are common symptoms of burnout. Rich also mentions that he stopped focusing on improving his own craft and instead focused on helping others improve theirs as a school administrator. This shift in focus indicates a loss of passion and motivation for his own work.
As Rich Mitchell reflects on his career, he realizes that burnout has been a recurring theme for him. He shares an anecdote about being asked to include goals of becoming a building leader, principal, or superintendent in his goal sheet. However, he tells his supervisor that he is not interested in pursuing these positions, which he now recognizes as a sign that he was already feeling burnt out and not motivated to advance in his career.
Rich's experience highlights the impact of burnout on one's professional life. It can lead to disengagement, a lack of focus, and a loss of passion for one's work. However, amidst the burnout, Rich Mitchell also gained clarity about what he did not want in his career. He realized that he did not want to continue down a path that would lead to more stress and burnout. This clarity allowed him to make the decision to move on to a different career path, specifically life coaching.
