Given that the pace of change and disruption caused by technology is accelerating and outside your control, what can you do?
According to Our World In Data (2023, Max Roser), it took our ancestors 2.4 million years to control and use fire for cooking. Compare this to the 66 years it took to put the first human on the moon following the Wright brother's first flight in 1903 or the 40 years it took from the first commercial computer to the Internet and web browsing. Even these are slow compared to today's advances, such as the advance of generative AI or from the first case of COVID-19 to the development of a vaccine.
Working harder and doing more isn't a sustainable solution. And it will eventually kill innovation and put you on a path to burnout.
Leadership is not just about learning, growing, and solving problems. It's also about balance and self-care. Great leaders don't go it alone—they develop, trust, and invest in others.
If you find yourself constantly in the trenches, pushing harder, you risk not only disempowering your team but also losing time with loved ones and neglecting activities that fuel your energy and creativity, such as exercise or hobbies.
As your energy wanes, so does your ability to make effective decisions and set a clear vision, trapping you in a cycle of firefighting.

If you're ready to start, or have questions - let's talk!
Stephen Clements, PCC
As a leader, I appreciate it can be a difficult step to reach out and discuss the challenges you are facing and the support you might be looking for. However, in taking the first step, you're already demonstrating that you're ready, willing and able to try something different.
When we talk, we'll explore the challenges you're facing and how my offerings might align with your needs. This won't be a sales call - I dislike them as much you do. Rather, it will be a conversation without judgement and filled with empathy, curiosity and openness. What happens next is entirely up to you.

He is continually present at every session, focused and dedicated to my development identifying patterns in my behaviour and allowing me to support myself through the process.“
