Long hours aren’t the only problem. This unit explores the quieter pressures of consulting work that erode mental health — and what individuals and teams can realistically do about them.
Mental health challenges in consulting rarely come from a single crisis. They build slowly through chronic urgency, unclear expectations, emotional labor, and the constant need to perform competence under pressure. This unit looks at the specific conditions that make consulting environments mentally taxing — beyond generic conversations about stress or burnout. You’ll learn how these pressures show up in day-to-day behavior, why high performers are often the most vulnerable, and how to recognize early warning signs in yourself and others without pathologizing normal human responses to demanding work.
