Learn how Lombard found himself at a crossroads in life, and needed support.
“I was experiencing a lot of frustration around not being clear on what I should be doing when it comes to where I’m spending my time and my life’s purpose. I was unclear and flailing around.
There were a few previous attempts where I did think I had it figured where I should be focusing my professional energy, but ultimately, it wasn’t unsuccessful and I was spending lots of time, energy and money.
My relationships were also suffering. I had gone through a separation with my wife who I had kids with. I was out of place with my relationships at work. My knee jerk reactions at work didn’t go down well.
Everything was going to shit in a big way and had been building up over these last 10 years. I had stuff to fall back on: savings, inheritance, property. But it was running out. I felt stuck.”

The biggest impact of Burnout Heroes on Lombard’s life.
"Burnout Heroes was the last 3 months of an 18 month period that pushed me forward in life. A lot has shifted now and I believe it was because of this course. I now have a lot more calm and peace. Everything is going to be fine. Even though things are a lot worse than they were financially 18 months ago, the anxiety is gone. The difference is I feel I am self supported."
How Lombard found clarity on where to take his professional life.
"Due to going through this process of running out of money, I was questioning what I wanted to do. On one hand, I was considering getting back into corporate. But I ultimately found clarity in getting myself back in as a consultant for small businesses and startups. For companies who are going through maturity, I am now offering my experience in executive management, business management, transformation, and client engagement.
The other thing I discovered was more of a long term calling type thing. I’m creating a support group for men who are going through traumatic divorces. I’m taking them on an inner journey to help them to take ownership for where they are at, manage negative thoughts, and grow powerfully forward in life.
All the cards for this were on the table, but it was supported and soundboarded through the Burnout Heroes process.”

The risk of not getting the support he needed.
"The risk would have been I would not have gotten all this clarity.
I also got drained from the burnout. I lost 3 or 4 years spending a lot of time, money and resources not getting anywhere. The big risk was repeating that journey, and burning out without getting clarity. Not getting energy and getting my vibrations up. To figure out what I need to do. How to provide for myself and my family going forward.
This course played a BIG part in getting clarity on my life's purpose. Otherwise, I would have dragged on & not gotten clarity. It wasn’t sustainable & was quite frustrating."

How his past, led him to his burnt out circumstances.
"I came from a dysfunctional family myself. Most of my stuff revolved around this.
I was the 3rd boy of 4. There was a lot of attention that moved from me when my younger brother was born. I had to be a ‘nice guy’ to get the attention from my parents. I was 5 or 6 years old and worried about being abandoned. Then, my parents separated and my dad moved to Canada when I was 12. He was an alcoholic, but not the mean crazy kind. He was a warm person who had an illness. There were stages where I was left in his car where he was in the pub but I was supposed to be playing sports.
I had developed a nice guy syndrome when I was younger, an unbalanced attachment style as a response to my childhood. Through my work with Andrew, there was a sense of healing, dealing with this stuff, accepting things and letting go of trauma.
I even had a fear of being successful, being abandoned. When I had money I was fearful of it.
The lesson was that everything is fine. Trust yourself and the universe.”

Working with Andrew as his INN coach for Burnout Heroes.
"Andrew is incredibly soft and intuitive in his own way. His response, feedback and support is spot on. He interprets my emotions and the process I am going through. He’s got an awesome ability to figure it out and get it and then support and areas and blind spots I am missing. To give me what I need to get to the next level. He’s an amazing coach with a lot to offer. That ability to support and get it right. Brilliant with being a sounding board and making things visible."
The profoundness of Burnout Heroe's ability to bring Lombard clarity.
"The course videos together with Andrew’s support were quite profound in getting me here. Some concepts I was familiar with and some I wasn’t and the approach was brand new. It went quite deep with the therapy (IFS). It was interesting, some of my own mediation was synchronising with what we were doing in the course.
All in all, this course brought clarity in a lot of areas."
