Paul Bridel Coaching

Hello, and welcome…

I help burnt-out Senior IT Project Leaders to get their mojo back, so that they can thrive again and move on.

If you’re finding that you can’t focus on your work… and you’re always tired…   

…you’re overwhelmed.  Drained.  Knackered.  So weary.

And you long to be doing something else, but you don’t know what that is…

…or, you perhaps have an idea but no clue how to get to what you want.  It just seems impossible.

You feel trapped, basically.  Stuck.

And you’re too tired at the end of the day to do anything about it.

And your thoughts spin at night trying to figure out the solution.

…does that resonate at all?

That used to be me – utterly burnt out, exhausted, looking for something else, something different, something… more.  Something with meaning, something that wouldn’t take everything out of me and leave me like a shell.

I believe that everyone should enjoy their work, and not be subjected to crippling levels of stress.

In my work as a coach, I am known for my empathy, calmness and compassion.  There is no judgement, I don’t tell you what to do or give advice – you’ve got plenty of people who will do that for you!  I help you figure out what you want.

I will work with you to help you uncover the path you need to be on.

Feedback for "Whats' Wrong With Me?"...

“Worth its weight in gold”

“It feels like you’ve been inside my head!”

“You KNOW what it’s like”

It’s 3am. Again. You’re lying awake, mind racing, the same exhausting thoughts cycling through your head for the hundredth time. Worries about work, finances; desperation to find something else – perhaps something more satisfying, more enjoyable, less stressful. But one over-riding thought keeps coming up – “what’s wrong with me?”.

If your exhaustion is always there; if your motivation has crashed (along with your confidence); if you’re feeling increasingly cynical about work; and if you’re feeling trapped and overwhelmed, then it’s very possible that you’re burning out, but you might not know it, or understand what’s happening to you.

This book is for the exhausted IT Project Manager, and the frazzled professional, or the mid-career specialist who feels stuck and trapped despite an outward appearance of success. It’s for anyone who’s been asking themselves “is this all there is?” and finding no answers.

Written by someone who’s been exactly where you are, this isn’t another generic self-help book telling you to “follow your passion” or “think positive”. It’s a survival guide that will help you understand what’s actually happening to you, why your usual problem-solving approaches aren’t working, and crucially, how to start taking back control.

You’ll discover:

  • Why burnout isn’t a personal failing, but a signal
  • The three types of burnout and which one is affecting you
  • Why your success has become a cage
  • How to rebuild your confidence and energy
  • Why you can’t think your way out of this problem
  • Practical steps to take right now, even when you’re exhausted
  • How to turn “Project You” into your most important initiative

You don’t need to stay stuck, waiting until some unknown future time, hoping things will change. And you absolutely don’t need to sacrifice your health and wellbeing to maintain a salary that no longer feels worth the cost.

It’s time to take back control.
