How a burned-out leader got his edge back.
Two years ago, I had a client who couldn’t stay healthy.
Couldn’t focus.
Couldn’t find joy in his work.
He told me straight up:
“I think I’m done.”
Fast forward to now?
He’s leading the organization.
Rebuilt from the inside out.
Same guy. Different mindset.
That’s the thing about comebacks.
It’s rarely just physical.
To get there, we have to work on the stuff no one sees.
Pressure. Confidence. Identity.
The mental side of a season that demands perfection.
Now when people ask him what changed?
He just says:
“I got my edge back.”
They lean in.
“Who helped you do that?”
And just like that, a new life-changing conversation starts.
Even if I’m not in the room.
Want your leadership edge back?
