You’ll learn:
What a performance edge is (and what it feels like)
The 3 major causes of creative burnout: delay, detachment, and doing it alone
How to recognize when you’ve slipped out of alignment with your creative work
How to use 5 high-performance metrics—clarity, energy, courage, productivity, and influence—to diagnose and fix burnout
Why micro-habits and flow states are essential for sustainable momentum
Shawn also shares personal stories—from his own burnout journey to client breakthroughs—to help you reconnect with your purpose and create with confidence again.
