Education
A lot of us fundamentally misunderstand what leadership is. That’s to be expected when very few of us receive any training! So, what does it mean to be a leader, and how do we do it well? In this episode, Alice will share her take on the most important part of leadership that – once learnt – will help you delegate, lead confidently, empower your team members and feel like a badass. **TRIGGER WARNING – super brief mention of low mental health including suicidality – skip forward 30 seconds at the 15-minute mark. She’ll discuss: the ONE THING that can define your success as a leader the challenge of letting things go, especially for people who are used to doing everything! why doing everything yourself is a slippery slope that is bad for your own energy levels and even worse for your team how delegation, training and coaching leads to happier, more engaged and more successful teams the big difference between managers and leaders (and why it’s better for you to be the latter!) why you can slip back into bad habits when you’re under stress – spoiler alert: it’s not your fault. It’s your brain… stupid brain. Recorded August 2021 If you enjoyed this episode, screenshot it and tag us on Instagram [@dark.coffee.wellbeing] with your biggest takeaway.
