Transform Your Life Today
The silent pandemic!
Burnout has become a serious threat to productivity, creativity, and well-being, and costs the US $2 billion annually in healthcare costs alone. A survey by Deloitte found that 77% of U.S. professionals experienced burnout in their current job, and more than half are likely to experience a recurrence within 18 months.
Based on science
Following 20 years of research, Dr. André Walton's Banish Burnout programs, validated by fMRI research, bring relief to sufferers in record time by creating new neural pathways. This refreshing new way to view the world opens the mind to new options, breaks unhealthy thinking patterns, brings happiness and increases emotional intelligence.
There are two Banish Burnout options, both of which include training in preventing recidivism and recognizing potential burnout in others.
The Supernova program was created to help those with serious or intermediate burnout, whereas, the Stella program is aimed at those in the early stages of burnout or who feel stressed or suffer from anxiety. If you have any doubt which category you fall into then contact our team and we will send you a questionnaire and an assessment.
Both of these programs are supported by our guarantee.
Client feedback
Following this program, clients reported: ‘feeling more energized and having more stamina’, ‘having better relationships at home and work’, ‘sleeping better’, and ‘being more motivated, energetic and resilient than at any time in the past five years.’ The neural pathways relating to the creative thinking technique our clients adopt are the same as those used when applying Emotional Intelligence. These leads to greater resilience and overall well-being.
Spherical Thinking™
As young children we all had the capability to think creatively. Socialization has led most people to adopt a deductive, logical thinking style which creates an imbalance. Our challenges at home and at work encourage this thinking process, as does our socialization processes.
Thinking analytically has its place, but creative thinking is a core human drive (we don't have the iPhone, the jet engine or the internet just because we have opposable thumbs!) It is the course of our social evolution!
Redressing the balance between these two thinking styles brings higher Emotional Intelligence, better decision making and greater happiness, as shown by scientific research. This is Spherical Thinking™ and is the key to the success of our Banish Burnout programs.
Banish Burnout
At Plan4change we believe in empowering individuals to reach their full potential, and there are several ways in which our Banish Burnout programs help achieve that goal.
When our unique Spherical Thinking™ process is combined with the customized 3R framework, not only does it help relieve the debilitating suffering that burnout can bring, it builds resilience and emotional intelligence. Also science shows us that creative thinking is associated with happiness.
A triple whammy!
Freed from the burden of burnout, stress and anxiety, our mission is to help you discover new strengths, overcome obstacles, and feel empowered and motivated to enjoy the journey towards your goals.

Not just about Burnout....
The ‘Supernova’ program is designed for those for whom burnout is causing a major disruption of their life. The program runs for 90 days of weekly one-on-one sessions with two sessions per week in month 1. There are also customized modules for each client and video and text support .
In Month 1 of the Supernova program, we start by establishing where you are on our Well-being Index. As you progress through your journey we use this index to track your progress and help us plan the details of your next steps. Then we develop three customized coaching components to pursue during the rest of the course and beyond. These are called the 3 'P's:
- Relationships (with loved ones, friends and colleagues)
- Recreation (fun, exercise, and the development of new neural pathways)
- Responsibilities (our work and family responsibilities and their impact our well being)
We work with you twice a week along your custom 3 'P's journey in analyzing and addressing the root causes of your burnout pain points. Our goal is for you to re-gain healthy dietary, sleep, and relationship habits, and to address other specific symptoms of burnout that you may have, that could be hurdles in your ongoing journey to become the person you want to be.
Month 2. In our weekly sessions we continue to help you develop positive habits and eliminate those that are not working for you, while monitoring your progress on the Well-being Index. Following your custom 3 'P's plan we particularly strengthen activities that you report as being powerful and helpful while eliminating factors that are not in your best interest. We also track and begin to work with you in setting longer term, short term and mini-goals for you to work towards between sessions.
Month 3. Everyone is different when it comes to burnout, stress and anxiety, but our goal is that by the beginning of Month 3 you will be enjoying a dramatically better, happier and more motivated life than when you joined the program. However, there are still important components of the program to pursue. In particular you have free access to two workshops:
1. It is important that you take steps to protect your newly found well-being, and ensure protection from sliding back into stress, anxiety or burnout. In this workshop you learn to protect yourself from this, and recognize and apply the resilience that you have acquired through the previous two months.
2. Both at work and at home burnout can be contagious. Those people close to you can find themselves beginning to show the signs and symptoms of burnout also. We teach you how to spot the clues that those around you may be headed for a stress related condition, and how to help them avoid it.
Months 4-6. You will most likely be feeling empowered and able to view your future with positivity and with a clear path and the motivation to pursue your goals at this point. Nonetheless, during months 4-6 we include a monthly check-in session to help you with any remaining issues that you might encounter, and as an accountability partner. This program does not just hold your hand through burnout recovery, it has the goal of helping you become the person you ultimately want to be. Your newly acquired Spherical Thinking™ process may also leave you with questions that can be addressed in these monthly.
Our Guarantee:
Everyone is different and every case of burnout is associated with a different combination of symptoms and to a different degree. However, if after diligently following the path that we design with you in this three month program you have not achieved a Wellness Index associated with a happy satisfying life, we will continue to work with you until you do.

We work with you every week on your custom 3 'P's plan in analyzing and addressing your burnout pain points. Our goal is for you to re-gain healthy dietary and sleep patterns, and to address other specific symptoms of burnout (such as pulling back from those close to you, inability to sleep, or depression) that may represent hurdles in your ongoing journey to become the person you want to be.
Month 2. In our weekly sessions we continue to help you develop positive habits and eliminate those that are not working for you. Following your custom 3 'P's plan we strengthen activities that you report as being powerful and helpful and guide you towards eliminating factors that are not in your best interest. We also track your progress on the Well-being Index and begin to work with you in setting longer term, short term and mini-goals for you to work towards between sessions.
Our goal is that by the end of Month 2 you will be enjoying a dramatically better life than when you joined the program. However, there are still important components of the program to pursue. You will have access to our video training program that helps protect you from sliding back into stress, anxiety or burnout.
Also, both at work and at home burnout can be contagious. At home and at work, those people close to you can find themselves beginning to show the signs and symptoms of burnout also. Our training shows how to spot the clues that those around you may be headed for a stress related condition, and advice you can offer them to help them avoid it.
Each of the above training programs are supported by a 1-on-1 coaching session when questions you may have cane be addressed and guidance given for your journey forward.

Beat stress, anxiety and banish Burnout to become your best
Important notes for entry into either Banish Burnout Program:
These programs are not for everyone. They have been designed around a scientific method and will be delivered by a certified accredited coach that has also been trained in the Spherical Thinking™ methodology. However, they are not designed to be 'done for you' programs in that they require commitment on the part of the client who will be required to participate in the agreed goals and exercises. None of these are arduous, they are designed to be enjoyable, but this path does need to be followed for the program to be successful.
IMPORTANT: Limitations
There are types of stress-related illness that are beyond the scope of coaching. For this reason entry into either of our Banish Burnout programs require an interview (of typically 1/2 hour) to establish that a prospective client is a suitable candidate for our Spherical Thinking™ methodology. If our psychologist believes that a psychiatrist or other medical professional would be the appropriate choice for an applicant (for instance, if they have PTSD) we will make that recommendation and decline admission the the Banish Burnout program. We do not wish to waste your time or money if we do not believe our program will be 100% successful in guiding you down the path to recovery and happiness.
