After a few years as a tenure-track professor in Boston, Monique Valcour accepted a job as a management professor at a business school in France. She and her family set out on an international adventure, selling their home and moving their kids to France for a new life.

While the location was ideal, Monique's new organization was a challenging place to thrive. She made the best of the situation, but began to burn out after a couple of years. By the end of her sixth year, Monique barely recognized herself. She had gone from being a confident, upbeat, capable scholar and professor to complete burnout, diminished both at work and in her personal life.

That is when she realized that she had to let the organization go and start working on her own dreams and business. Listen as she shares her burnout story, why she had to be the one to pull herself out, and what she’s doing now.

In fact, her articles in the Harvard Business Review are the exact reason why we found each other. If you haven’t yet, and you’re in the pits of burnout, you’ll definitely want to check them out!

“I could see it happening and that was devastating for me because half the time I was like I can’t believe I’m having this experience.” Monique Valcour Ph.D.
