Power that doesn’t cost you yourself

You may be circling a career decision.

Facing a leadership challenge you know how to handle, but somehow aren't.

Wondering what's next after something you've already outgrown.

Or simply aware that there's more in you than the way you're currently living and working allows.

You're probably not here because you need to become more capable.

You know how to work, learn, adapt, figure things out, and get things done.

The question is whether the way you're operating is helping you get where you actually want to go.

The things getting in your way may not look like weaknesses.

They may look like being responsible.

Being prepared.

Being the person everyone can count on.

Thinking things through.

Keeping the peace.

Holding yourself to a high standard.

Being able to carry more than most people.

Those strengths may have helped you accomplish an extraordinary amount.

But even your strengths can start working against you.

You overthink instead of choose.

Prepare instead of move.

Take on responsibility that isn't yours.

Keep proving what you've already proven.

Manage everyone else's experience while losing contact with your own.

Keep succeeding in ways you no longer want to sustain.

And sometimes you're not stuck at all. You're just ready for more.

A different role. A bigger idea. A better relationship. More creative freedom. A change you've been wanting to make. Or simply more of your energy going toward a life you actually want.
