I was living a divided life…
I bought the lie once I became an executive leader: “It is not safe to talk about leadership struggles.”
I created a false narrative to hold it all together, but on the inside I was frustrated, confused, and angry.
I was the ‘nice guy’ – appearing calm and collected – yet I was lonely and disconnected from my true identity.
I was terrified of being exposed as an imposter.
It took a painful wilderness season for me to see the truth. I had a choice. I could stay stuck in an emotional leadership void, or I could face my silent struggles, begin leading with courage in all my relationships.
Today, I coach executive leaders, teach on organizational health, and train coaches on how to be lead wholeheartedly by overcoming the silent struggles of perfectionism, people pleasing, numbing, exhaustion, and anxiety.
The silent struggle exists in all high performing leaders. Facing it is the first step toward waking up your full potential and leading wholeheartedly.
