Lose the Exhaustion. Up Your Leadership
Imagine it with me: You’ve been in your role awhile now.
You feel solid in your contributions and what you have accomplished in the role.
And while you appreciate that you have a good job and career, you are surprised by the toll leading at this level is taking on you.
The pressures of this echelon of leadership leaves you exhausted, at times resentful, and very much longing for freedom from the grind of it all.
You got into leadership to have a greater impact and yet you find yourself drained wondering how much longer you can or even want to do it.
Welcome to a common side effect of leading as a high-performer without the internal and external foundations of alignment.
This lack of alignment isn’t a character defect.
We are not taught these things.
We learn that leadership is what we are supposed to do but we are not taught how to ensure our floor is just as important as the ceiling we strive to surpass.
We are not taught that we can care deeply about the people, work, and causes AND care deeply about ourselves.
There is a way to lead and have the impact you want while also enjoying the pleasures you so deeply crave in your life.
There is a way to uplevel your leadership that doesn’t mean more work (or running away to a secluded island forever).
Here are 4 items for your personal leadership list that will you support you:
By re-evaluating your values, mission, purpose, and what had you choose the path you are on
By getting very clear on the influence and impact you want to have
By raising your floor so you can be fully nourished
By identifying and elevating your brand
It is possible to enjoy yourself and be exceptional at what you do.
