ABSTRACT

Leadership is an assignment that can be nurtured through experience of both growth and challenges. People who aren’t happy with their career of choice are not happy with their lives overall. This injures their capability and insight to develop the strategy to elevate successfully. All leadership is both personal and professional. We naturally activate and leverage our skills in our performance as a leader. The competing yet uncomfortable conversations in our leadership life is engaging in an honest inventory of all things that we have invested in personally and professionally while recognizing the impact. Leadership is a pathway infused with strategy, commitment, and accountability. Such that, in our lived experiences we encounter pain. In this space of our career, we experience two types of pain: pain that hurts you, and pain that changes you. Confronting what seems hard and invisible is the key to living life on your terms.
