Women in LBM Lunch & Learn - The Leadership Trap of Doing Too Much

Description

Most of us didn't get where we are by doing less.

We got here by saying yes. Taking ownership. Solving problems. Stepping in when things needed to get done.

Over time, many high performers become the person everyone relies on: the fixer, the organizer, the problem-solver, and the one who always finds a way to make things work.

While those qualities often contribute to success, they can also create unintended consequences. Constantly taking on more responsibility, carrying the weight of competing priorities, and trying to keep everything moving can lead to burnout, overwhelm, and diminished effectiveness.

In this practical and engaging session, participants will explore the hidden costs of doing too much and learn strategies for protecting their time, energy, and effectiveness without sacrificing their impact.

Whether you are a CEO, manager, sales professional, credit manager, operations leader, or administrative professional, this session will help you identify where overload is limiting your effectiveness and provide practical tools for creating more sustainable success.
