It is a hard thing to lead a tour with no energy… when you have almost no enthusiasm in your body.

This week we finally tackle the tough question of how to avoid burnout as a tour guide. This is one of the most common questions i’ve gotten from tour leaders around the world and it listed as one of the biggest challenges in our Be a Better Guide survey.

You don’t have to be a tour leader for very long during a busy peak season to understand how much energy you need to put out tour after tour after tour. And we all know that the more enthusiasm and passion to show, the better the experience for your guests. But there are literally times when all you want to do is run and hide from your groups.

In this episode, I share eight techniques I’ve learned over the years for keeping your energy up. As a full time tour guide for five years, I had to balance my life and work, and this is how I was able to survive.

Have a look through and give them a try. Maybe some will work for you, maybe some won’t. But I know from experience it takes a lot of discipline to keep yourself balanced, healthy and happy.

Hang in there if you are going through this right now… and pass this video along to someone who might need to give themselves a little tender loving care.
