HI, I’m Kelly…

I've coached over 700 leaders through burnout, trained over 150 coaches across 15 countries to work in this field, and I'm completing my PhD at King's College London on the long-term cognitive impact of burnout - research that isn't yet in published literature.

I'm a TEDx speaker, six-time author, and have been featured in The Times, The Guardian, BBC, Sky News, Psychologies Magazine, and Waitrose Health.

I reached board-level HR Director by 30, and then nearly died from burnout. Twice.

That is not a rhetorical device. It is the reason this work exists.

WHY I BUILT BURNOUTOLOGY

I was coached by skilled, ethical, well-qualified coaches during both of my burnout periods. None of their coaching was negligent.

It just wasn’t enough..

Burnout doesn't require bad coaching to take hold. It requires coaching that was never designed for what burnout actually does to the brain, the body, and the sense of self.

So I built what didn't exist.

Not another burnout awareness programme, and not an adapted resilience model. The architecture - built from the inside out, from what I experienced, from what 700 leaders taught me, and from over £250,000 invested in understanding why standard models weren't working.

The result is Burnoutology, the Burnout Equation, and the Master Burnout Coach programme - the only master-level burnout coach training in the world.

Toxicity − Sense of Self = Burnout

And if you're still reading and you want more ...

I live in Cambridgeshire with my partner Mick, my twin sons, my step-sons, and our rescue dog. I'm an undefeated Mario Kart champion, a neuroscience geek, and a yoga and meditation teacher in my spare time. I practice yoga daily, at least once, and I love my weight training. I can currently leg press 200kg.

I'm also AuDHD, diagnosed at 43, along with bipolar and two chronic physical health conditions (thanks burnout) . It's shaped how I understand masking, identity, and the physiological cost of performing a version of yourself that isn't true. It's in the work.

I'm curious, direct, and I care about doing the right thing even when nobody's watching. That's in the work too.
