Let's brew our espresso for an insightful shot!

Are you a Lone Ranger?

WHY is Leadership a Lonely Journey?

Leadership can be a lonely journey, filled with pressure to appear strong and constant balancing acts. Many leaders find themselves isolated, unable to express their true feelings or vulnerabilities. These emotions can hinder personal growth and impact team effectiveness.

WHAT is your Leadership Identity?

The first question to ask yourself is, “What’s causing me to be stuck?” More often than not, I find that leaders have a preconceived beliefs or judgmental perception about what a leader “should” be doing. There comes a point when, after struggling to uphold a set of “shoulds” and pushing ourselves beyond the limit as a leader, we may one day have an unpleasant wake-up call! Physically, we could fall ill and also the mental stress would spill over into our personal lives.

HOW do you lead with Joy and Fulfillment?

By acknowledging our humanity and embracing our emotions, we can redefine what it means to lead. Prioritizing our well-being doesn't equate to neglecting our team; instead, it fosters a positive work environment and enhances performance. We are free to choose wellbeing as our priority and insert positivity habits into our day to day life.

Some of the positivity habits for you to consider:

Write down 3 things you feel grateful for daily, digitally or with paper and pen
Take a quick afternoon nap, 10 min is good enough
Give yourself a good stretch when you wake up in the morning

“You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first.”
