Success and Leadership Coaching for Business Leaders
The other day I was hosting an event and this topic came up.
Trying to continue leading the team, the business and most of all yourself in the way you needed to to get you where you are today… but it just doesn’t fit anymore…. Because the business, and the team have grown.
Leaving you feeling exhausted
Feeling like an imposter
Working all hours with no time for your family
Resentful of your team
Stuck in fire-fighting mode
The thing is that if this is where you are it means what you did worked… now it’s time to adapt.
1. Check in to look how far you’ve come… we don’t often do this enough but we all need a sense check from time to time.
2. Create an air pocket for yourself, to give yourself some headspace away from the day to day. This can be as easy as taking a walk before you start work or turning your phone off on a weekend. Leading yourself first is just like the air mask on a plane. The ripple effect from you feeling different is huge.
3. Ask yourself what’s causing the most frustration…. And with everything on your list ask yourself what am I doing to add to that?
