#71 When you don’t know where to start
Why doing something—anything—different matters when leadership feels too heavy.
Summary
In this episode of The Leadership Lounge, host Katie addresses healthcare leaders who feel stuck and overwhelmed by the pressures of their roles. She emphasises that leadership is an attitude, not a title, and encourages listeners to try something different to break free from feeling stuck, whether it's a small change like altering their breakfast or a big life change. Katie highlights the importance of noticing wins each day. She recommends books such as "Switch" by Dan and Chip Heath, "Immunity to Change," and "Atomic Habits" to aid in personal and organisational change. She shares a personal anecdote about taking a walk during home renovations to regain energy and momentum. Katie also announces she will reduce the frequency of her email updates and take more frequent podcast breaks for balance. She closes with a message of encouragement, reminding listeners that by continuing to show up, they are doing better than they realise and should keep making small changes to foster progress and hope.
