Is it time to give yourself a break?
For high-achievers, the answer is probably a resounding, “yes”.
But when we’re not used to breaking and delegating and resting as a normal practice, sometimes the universe steps in and decides for us.
And then we scramble.
Whether it’s a worldwide pandemic, a painful divorce, or even a broken foot, the path forward offers opportunities for growth and, most importantly, a chance to demonstrate vulnerability.
This week, Karlee shares how an unexpected shift in mobility and independence has reminded her to take a deeper look at the opportunities within this circumstance.
In this episode, you’ll hear why it’s so important to demonstrate vulnerability as a leader, and how these moments of true sharing can improve company culture for the better. You’ll explore real-life examples of turning perceived crises into unique opportunities. You’ll also discover how to turn your next unexpected upheaval into an asset that also allows you to give yourself a little more grace.
If you’re ready to let go of the hero myth and start giving yourself a little more grace, then this episode is for you.
