I rebuilt after burnout and now coach high-pressure leaders to set boundaries, decide cleanly, and redesign workload. No pill, potion, hack or app solves burnout.
I work with leaders and teams who want steady results, clear thinking, and energy left for life outside work. No bravado. No grind culture. Just the basics done well, week after week.
There isn’t a pill, potion, hack or app that “solves” burnout. Tools can support; recovery and prevention come from behaviour, boundaries, workload design, and supportive environments.
If you feel stretched thin, you are not broken. You have been carrying too much, for too long, with too little recovery. We look at what is going on, tighten what matters, and put a plan in place that stands up on a rough week.
Working with Zane is straight, grounded and practical. Whether it is a MOT day, a 3 to 5 day retreat, a workshop, an online course or a keynote talk, the aim is the same: help good people perform well without burning themselves into the floor. Expect clear thinking, honest challenge and simple frameworks you can use the same day. Zane brings lived experience from policing, leadership and his own burnout, plus years coaching senior leaders across sectors. He does not deal in hype. He helps you look at how you work, what you carry, and what needs to change.
MOT days are focused and personal. We audit your workload, decision habits and boundaries, then set clean actions. Retreats go deeper, away from distraction, with small groups and tight facilitator ratios so nothing gets brushed past. Workshops and keynotes are direct and interactive, built around real pressures leaders face. Online courses give you structure and accountability over time. Across all formats, the message holds: there is no pill, potion, hack or app that fixes burnout. Performance comes from behaviour, workload design, clear boundaries and supportive environments. One clean rep at a time.
Zane provided a series of four lunchtime webinars for our firm as part of our ongoing commitment to the health and wellbeing of our team here at Thompson Jenner.
The webinars were very well recieved, and provided timely reminders about the importance of keeping ourselves well and not waiting for issues to present before taking action.
Zane provided a webinar to Norfolk Police as part of Mens Health week in June, on signs symptoms and strategies of defeating burnout, this was viewed by 44 officers, it was really informative and we received excellent feedback from all that attended.
I think Zane’s style and presentation approach really resonated with our police colleagues and we would be delighted to have him back in the future at training events
“I had the pleasure of chatting with Zane at the start of the year about my feelings of burn out and the challenges I was facing.
I had noticed I was feeling more and more stressed and overwhelmed with work, and various areas of my life, and wanted to get a handle on things.
Zane was very compassionate, easy to talk to, and very clear with his thoughts. I left the call feeling seen, heard and understood. I felt a weight lift off my shoulders and felt a sense of knowing what to do. He kept me accountable whilst I took action to create a better work/life balance for myself.
Highly recommend Zane and very appreciate the time he has given me.”
I went to one of Zane’s presentations and listened as he explained the stages of burn out and how it had affected his life.
I didn’t know it at the time but his message became life changing for me after I realised soon after that I was burnt out. Moderate stage was identified, I knew that the symptoms I had were not me and sought help from my Doctor and a session with Zane to understand how best to move forward.
I changed my circumstances and spent time being kind to myself, and today I am feeling so much better. Thank you for your support Zane.
“Since working with Zane a number of things have changed in my life, from finding a new career, putting a strategy in place to prevent burnout and most importantly being present for my friends and family. While giving me the confidence to talk openly.
Zane is a person I often recommend and always will.
He was the calm voice when all I could hear was negative voices in my head.
I will forever be grateful for his voice being the loudest, most honest and powerful voice of them all”
“I’m not really sure what more there is to say other than from the first conversation right through to our final session last month it was abundantly clear he understood exactly what was going on and what needed to be done.
His ability to explain what was going on in simple, relateable language menat that we were able to make progress far quicker than I thought possible, anecdotes and explanations that I’ve been able to incorporate into my own role when dealing with members of my own teams that I’m responsible for.
My advice for anyone feeling stuck or worried that they’re operating well below their potential is to give Zane a call.”
“Had a fantastic call with Zane this afternoon.
Post burnout, life altering, thought process correction.
Very impactful, clearly delivered and very much on point wtih where I am as a human being.
I am very grateful!
Cannot recommend highly enough.”
“Zane has been great at reshuffling my life and work balance. I was struggling with overwhelming work load and the impact it has on home life.
I now have a plan of action moving forward and can put things in perspective allocating time more efficiently and taking back time for family.
He even persuaded me to extend our family holiday!
Thanks Zane for your time and understanding.”
