The hidden cost of people-pleasing in leadership


​

​

Hi, Reader,

​

​

​

​

🙅‍♀️ People-pleasing feels safe in the moment, but it steals your energy, your voice, and your authenticity over time.

​

Trust me, I’ve been there!

​

Every time you say “yes” when you really mean “no,” you are not creating connection. You’re planting seeds of resentment. And over time, that shows up in your leadership, your team, and even in how you feel about yourself.

​

In leadership, this is what matters:

​
One clear, kind conversation can reset expectations, protect your boundaries, and build relationships rooted in respect, not performance.

​

💡 True leadership and authentic connection don’t come from pleasing everyone.

​

Leadership comes from speaking your truth with clarity and courage.

​

So let me ask you: as a leader, which feels harder for you:
1. Saying “no” when it matters, or
2. Resisting the urge to please everyone?

​

Push reply and let me know. I'd love to hear from you.

​

👉 If you’re ready to lead with authenticity and confidence, I’d love to help you.

What if Impostor Syndrome is Actually a Sign You’re Growing?

Hi, Reader, Yes, I want Coaching! Have you ever noticed how impostor syndrome always seems to show up right when you’re stretching, learning, or stepping into something new?

Set Boundaries Like a Boss ?

Hi There, Reader, Mastering Hard Conversations Let’s talk about boundaries, the quiet superpower of great leaders. Strong boundaries aren’t barriers. They’re clarity. When you say yes to everything, you’re really saying no to your own priorities. And before long, you start feeling stretched thin, resentful, or frustrated and that’s not leadership. True leadership means showing others where the line is, and doing it with kindness and confidence. Boundaries protect your energy, build respect,...
