Sometimes it feels like we just have to work a few more nights, put work in front of our family and health one more time, just dig that little bit deeper, gather enough energy and that breakthrough will come.

And before you know it, years have gone by.

Do you feel out of depth and frustrated because your team is not performing to the right standards and delivering the results you are after, despite investing in leadership programs?

Sitting confidently at the leadership table doesn’t always come naturally. Many who have gone before you have sat there doubting themselves, thinking they aren’t cut out for this leadership thing after all.

“I broke the glass ceiling as the first female to be promoted to a head of department at the Financial Services Board, but I sat at that boardroom table feeling completely out of my depth, terrified of being judged because I was one of the youngest on the leadership team, the only woman, and also the only one in the room who was neither a Chartered Accountant nor an actuary. It literally broke my heart leaving my 3-month-old baby at daycare, but I went back to work, because I had to “man up” and there was “important business to attend to”. I was terrified that I am going to be seen as a failure in my professional role and jeopardise my career. I wish I could travel back in time to prevent my younger self from burning out and creating an incurable autoimmune disease. But I can’t. What I CAN do , is to help others to avoid the mistakes I made”.
