Tracy Sinclair welcomes executive coach Julie Langford to discuss the growing issue of overwhelm in coaching, driven by constant accessibility, fast change, heavy workloads, and hybrid working that removes pauses. Julie notes clients often arrive “too late,” already spent, stuck, or in fight/flight, with beliefs that value equals busyness and that senior leaders must always look like they can cope—especially when competing for promotion. They explore how overwhelm undermines strategic thinking and decision quality, and how early coaching can “let the air out of the balloon.”
