I'm a mental health therapist, parent, and leader.  I honed my skills in hospitals, clinics, and board rooms.  After creating wellness programs for years, I realized that leaders need help!  Leaders are human.  Despite their impressive titles and big responsibilities, leaders often struggle in silence.  They grapple with toxic stress, overwhelm, and imposter syndrome.     

Leaders, more than anyone else, are the ones who set the culture and tone for the rest of the organization.  It's not enough for a leader to talk the talk about their strategic plan.  They must walk the walk.  An unhealthy leader can alienate a team.  They can allow a toxic work environment to fester.  They can destroy morale and cause irreparable harm to their reputation and earnings.  A healthy leader, however, can inspire the team.  They can create a healthy work environment, retain great employees, earn rave reviews from all the stakeholders, and succeed financially. 

The health of leaders can make or break companies.  Unfortunately, most leaders avoid asking for help.  They fear it will make them appear weak, incompetent, or foolish.  By the time they seek help, it is often too late.  By then, they may have already lost the confidence of their team. They've seen their best employees jump ship.  They've failed their 360 reviews.  They may even find themselves circling the drain on a Performance Improvement Plan.  

I'm on a mission to show leaders the tools they need to eliminate their toxic stress so they can have more success and impact in their businesses... and in their communities.  We need more leaders to model healthy behaviors. 

So, new leader, you have a choice to make.  Will you focus on your health or neglect it?  Will you learn what it takes to create success, or will you fail?  Will you soar...or will you crash and burn?
