Mel MacIntyre Coaching

Driven and enthusiastic, in my corporate career I was a “high performer.” There was a ladder to climb, and I climbed it: promotions, awards, the recognition I craved. I had a fire in my belly that kept me going when things felt really challenging. Then one day in a maelstrom of life defining events and traumas, the fire went out. And I burnt out. I was broken and battered from a lifetime of having to meet a definition of success that was set by others and my own ridiculously high standards.
