It's tough at the top

One of the toughest parts of leadership is figuring out how to balance giving clear direction while also empowering your team to find their own way. Then there's the emotional weight of being everyone’s go-to support while still taking care of yourself. As well as the pressure of making decisions often with incomplete information, knowing that your team is looking to you for clarity.

It can be frustrating and overwhelming.

It’s also not about having all the answers—it’s about creating the space for others to find them. It's pretty uncomfortable trying to get comfortable with uncertainty. And honestly, self-awareness and vulnerability are far more powerful than trying to be perfect all the time.

But perhaps the biggest challenge of leadership? Learning to lead in a way that feels true to you, while managing other people’s expectations.

Leadership isn’t just about the tasks you do, it’s about who you are 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 along the way.
