    WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER BE INCREDIBLE STARTER PACK Pick up IncrediPaul merch In this episode, Paul sits down with Jimmy Burroughes, a former British Army officer turned corporate executive and leadership consultant. Jimmy shares his journey through high-stakes leadership, his personal battle with executive burnout in 2017, and how he now helps managers transition into high-performing leaders without sacrificing their well-being. They dive deep into actionable frameworks for prioritization, team delegation, and tracking the subtle warning signs of burnout before it's too late. CONNECT WITH JIMMY jimmy@jblhighpeformance.com www.jblhighperformance.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmyburroughes/ https://www.instagram.com/jblhighperformance/ AIDEN COACH LINK About the Guest Jimmy Burroughes is an operational friction removal expert for leaders. With a foundational career as a senior captain in the British Army (serving in Gulf War II and Afghanistan) and a decade climbing the corporate ladder to an operational General Manager running an eight-figure business, Jimmy has experienced leadership at every pressure point. Today, he runs a global consultancy that supports medium-to-large organizations with the manager-of-managers transition, utilizing live workshops, asynchronous learning, and cutting-edge AI coaching tools.

Jimmy introduces the PVC framework to help leaders make tactical choices about where to put their time and energy: Purpose, Value, and Capacity. 2. The AEIOU Burnout Warning Signs Burnout rarely happens overnight; it builds subtly. Use the five vowels to check in on yourself and your team members. If you recognize three or more of these signs, it is time to take immediate action: Anxiety, Exhaustion, Isolation, Overwhelmed, and Uncaring/Unmotivated. 3. The "I'll Just" Trap Jimmy warns against the insidious phrase "I'll just..." which acts as the fast track to the burnout whirlpool. 4.
