Self-Care as Leadership Capacity — Anchoring Yourself When the Work Feels Heavy

Adaptive leadership is hard. You're holding complexity. Navigating ambiguity. Staying in the heat when everyone else wants resolution. 

And if you're not intentional about sustainability, you'll burn out. Not because you're weak — because adaptive work is inherently depleting when done alone, without reflection, or in systems that reward over-functioning. 

This session isn't about bubble baths and meditation apps (though those don't hurt). It's about building self-care into your leadership practice — as a strategic capacity, not a guilty afterthought. 

In this session, we'll explore: 

  • Why Adaptive Challenges Can Burn You Out: The dynamics that make this work exhausting (and what to do about it) 

  • Self-Care as Leadership Capacity: How sustainability enables better decision-making, relational presence, and resilience 

  • Diagnostic for Depletion: Where are you over-functioning? Where are you isolated? Where are you ignoring signals? 

  • Practices That Actually Work: Reflection rituals, peer support, boundary-setting, and pacing strategies 

  • Real Case Example: An organization who rebuilt capacity through intentional practice (and what it unlocked for their team: more shared purpose, better outcomes, higher retention) 

You'll leave with: 

  • A personal sustainability diagnostic 

  • 3-5 practices you can implement immediately 

  • Permission to stop treating self-care as selfish 

This session is for you if: 

  • You're exhausted and don't see a way out 

  • You know you're over-functioning but don't know how to stop 

  • You want to lead with presence and resilience, not just grit and caffeine 

This will be a virtual workshop. It will be held 10:00-11:30am EST / 16:00-17:30 CET / 17:00-18:30 IST.

The workshop fee is $119. You will receive an email with payment link after registration. If you have a discount code, please enter it in the registration form.
