60-second self-assessment
What’s driving your high performance
and what’s silently draining your energy?
You already know how to work hard. You already know how to deliver results. The real question is whether your current way of operating is sustainable for long-term performance, or designed only for short-term survival.
This self-assessment is built for founders, executives, lawyers and ambitious professionals who carry responsibility, make high-stakes decisions and rarely switch off — whether you’ve already arrived or are still climbing.
In under 60 seconds, you’ll discover
- Which performance pattern you’re currently operating from
- Where stress, fatigue and cognitive load may be silently accumulating
- Practical, research-backed steps to protect your energy while keeping standards high
No fluff. No generic tips. Just clear insight and actionable guidance.
Trusted by founders, executives, lawyers and ambitious professionals under pressure to uncover hidden stress patterns and prevent burnout before it takes hold.
Researched and designed by Lovena Patten, qualified coach, using the World Health Organization’s definition of burnout and published research on burnout, stress, perfectionism, recovery and work–family life.
This self-assessment is for reflection and is not a medical diagnosis. If you are struggling, please speak to your GP or a qualified health professional.

One thing worth saying
Two of your answers — feeling more cynical or detached, and feeling less effective than a year ago — are the other two dimensions the World Health Organization uses to describe burnout. That doesn’t diagnose anything, but together they suggest this has been building for a while. A free 20-minute chat is a sensible next step.
