Are you staying in a job that no longer supports you, just because you feel loyal to your team or unsure of your next step?
It's a common challenge for thoughtful leaders. In this episode, I explore why we sometimes stay too long in roles that aren't working, and how to start thinking clearly about whether it's time to move on.
What You'll Learn:
- Why staying to "protect" your team might actually hold everyone back
- How toxic leadership can damage your self-esteem and confidence
- Why trying to "fix" your boss or workplace can keep you stuck
- How to start deciding whether to stay or go – in a clear, grounded way.
