How can an organization prevent a burnout?

What is it like to have a burnout?

wHO AM I?

My name is Marco Ambaum, 48 years old and I live in The
Netherlands.

I live together with my wife; 3 adolescent
children and I work in secondary education.

In December 2018 I got a burnout that left me at
home. 

I got through it by trial and error. Supported by my family, friends, employer and my
psychologist.

As a teacher, I often took too much work with me. In addition to teaching, there were also many tasks, assignments and work groups that I
participated in. I also found my involvement with the children and the
pressure from parents heavy.

Having a young family asked a lot of me. Just like an old house, maintaining a social network and a large garden.

The balance in my life was quite disturbed.

 

Now, more than two years later, I am doing a lot better. I have gained understandings and have become a lot wiser.

These ideas, understandings and wisdom are the core of the website.

Why This site?

As you can see, I am not a psychologist or a burnout coach, but someone who has had a burnout.

So I know what it feels like to be burned out and what you can encounter.

Because during my burnout I missed an explanation about how a burnout works and what the causes can be, I made this website.

 

This site is divided into two parts:

  1. What is it like to have a burnout. A piece full of topics, personal experiences and tips that can help you recover, prevent or understand a burnout.
  2. How can you prevent a burnout. A piece full of ideas, advice, insights and recommendations to help companies/institutions to prevent burnout.

This site is free and I am not selling anything. I only hope, through this site, that people will recognize a burnout sooner and hopefully prevent it. I wish you a lot of reading pleasure. Gr. Marco Ambaum
