Professionals Recovery

Professionals Recovery started with the dedication to supporting high performing employees who struggle with burnout and other personal challenges that threaten job performance, commitment to their organization and overall job satisfaction. Our clients are dedicated High Performers, who due to their commitment, dedication, and personal high standards for performance have developed resentment, stress, or burnout, and struggle to maintain performance and engagement.

Recent research shows 88% of U.S. employees reported overall satisfaction with their current job, marking the highest level of satisfaction over the last decade (SHRM). Gallup reports the level of employees engagement measured this year was at it’s highest in years at 34.1%. But this doesn’t always turn out well. A New York Times Article When Employee Engagement Turns Into Burnout highlights how high performing professionals are often rewarded with more responsibility including workload. This pressure to rise to greater expectations can have negative consequences for a companies most valuable employees. Are you a highly engaged employee struggling with stress while maintaining performance? Here are a few questions to consider:

  • Does your work get in the way of a balanced, fulfilling life?
  • Do you love your work but struggle with leaving stress at the office?
  • Has burnout caused you to consider a career transition?
  • Is stress at work becoming too much to take?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we may be able to help.

Create Healthy Work-Life Alignment Through:

  • Evidence Based Best Practice

    Our coaching and consulting services are built on many empirically studied theories including works by Martin Seligman (Positive Psychology), John Kotter (Leading Change), Bernard M. Bass and Bruce J Avolio (Transformational Leadership), Christina Maslach (Burnout), Sarah Allen Benton (Understanding the High Functioning Alcoholic) among others. Our methodology is unparalleled and represents a synthesis of multiple schools of thought, cutting edge research, and a customized holistic approach that focuses on the client first.

  • Strategic Collaboration

    Coaching creates a space for rigorously honest conversations to collaborate on strategies to overcome the pressures that threaten recovery. We understand that for many high functioning addicts, our addiction helped support our success.  When the addictive behavior stops, so can the ability for maintain work performance.  Coaching helps to support the development of new tools for the high performing professional.

  • Managing Performance

    The process of managing recovery can be similar to managing organizational transformation.  Coaching helps to create structure and accountability for personal transformation while focusing on performance that reinforces healthy behavior.

  • Humanistic, Holistic, & Systematic Focus

    Our process focuses on the whole person including their relationships as well as their social circles to help develop an overall balanced life. While we exclusively work with professionals and work related issues, the goal of our approach is to help develop a more balanced individual with emphasis on the well-being of the person, not the professional.

“Ask for help, not because you’re weak, but because you want to remain strong.” – Les Brown

“At the height of my career I was struggling to keep it all together.  Long hours at the office or with clients was exhausting and the pressure to achieve was taking a tole. Despite all my accomplishments, I experienced a great sense of shame and failure. I was admired and respected as a professional all while struggling to maintain a facade. I was suffering from burnout. Ultimately, trying to manage my stress on my own led to the destruction of my career and the life I worked so hard to build. Gratefully, I’ve been given a second chance. Professionals Recovery was started with the dedication to supporting High Performers who suffer from work related stress including burnout, mental health, compulsive behavior and addiction issues. We offer unparalleled expertise in supporting professionals rebuild the motivation and commitment and to enhance leadership capabilities while learning to focus on what matters most.”

What people who have worked with us have to say

Deborah

“When I started the coaching process, I didn’t know what to expect.  I was successful but struggling to maintain a high level of performance. I felt myself taking on more work than I could handle.  Albert helped me realize how much I was neglecting myself while sacrificing my health to maintain my business.  Through coaching, I’ve learned to let go of control and delegate more to my associates and focus more of my time nurturing their development.  I’ve never felt healthier and I have found a new passion for my work…”

“I feel safe talking to Albert about issues I’ve never really discussed.  I felt like a fraud.  I thought it was only a matter of time before my bosses found out and I’d lose my job. Albert walked me through a difficult time in my life.  Today, I am living in recovery, and I’ve never been happier, at work and in my life.”

My therapist recommended I talk to Albert to deal with the problems I was facing at work.  I was sober from alcohol for several years but found myself sabotaging my work.  Albert coaching me around what he called an “addiction to self-sabotage.”  I’ve had tremendous results working with Albert.  He is an amazing coach.
