How do you know you’ve got internal pressure problems?
Simple.
Internal pressure feels bad.
Period.
Forget that people will tell you ‘it’s normal’. Drop the idea ‘of course I feel bad, have you seen what I’m handling’. Put to one side the thought ‘this is the deal when you’re at this level’.
And check honestly.
Honesty is your biggest leverage point for positive change.
Do things actually feel bad?

Internal pressure problems get worse till you deal with them.
Because what you want is internal stability in the presence of external pressure.
It is your strongest position.
It’s what great leadership is grounded in.
The work I do makes that a reality.
When you’re ready to do the work to get internally stable, check we’re a match.
