Burnout doesn't start where you'd think.

New on the AFSM blog: alum and executive coach Dirk Winterer looks at the data on Gen Z workplace stress in Switzerland — and finds the same "inner skills gap" showing up, two decades later, in senior leaders and founder-CEOs he now coaches.

His MBA consultancy project set out to explore leadership development for young professionals. What he found instead was a pattern that runs through an entire career: the stress that starts early doesn't go away when you get promoted — it compounds.

A great read on what conscious leadership actually means in practice, and how AFSM's consultancy project turns real research into real-world impact.
