I Crashed. But You Don't Have To.
Lessons Learned from Executive Burnout
Meet the Author, Julien Godbarge
Crash and [Burn] LEARN is a candid business fable based on my own rise, collapse, and recovery as an executive.
It reveals the ten blind spots that lead to burnout—and the mindset shifts that pull them back.
Through story, reflection, and practical tools, this book helps leaders recognize themselves before it’s too late and chart a healthier, more sustainable path forward.
The 10 Blind Spots That Lead to Burnout
Blind spots aren’t mistakes. They’re patterns.
Repeated behaviors that feel normal.
Rewarded—until they aren’t.
These ten blind spots quietly shape how leaders:
- Handle pressure
- Define success
- Relate to others
- Measure their worth
You can’t fix what you can’t see.
Go Deeper With Blind Spot X-Ray Workbooks
Awareness is the first step. Interruption is the work.
The Blind Spot X-Rays are downloadable, digital workbooks, designed to help you unpack each blind spot at a time.
Each X-Ray includes:
- Pattern explanation
- Real-world examples
- Reflection prompts
- Practical disruption tools
Start with one. Or go through all ten.
