These are perhaps some of the toughest times many of us will experience in our careers.

According to a recent Gallup study, "Compared with 2019, reports of daily worry have increased from 37% to 60% among the full-time working population. Daily stress has increased from 48% to 65%."

And for the Leaders, it may be an overwhelmingly challenging time.

I'm here to tell you: It’s ok if you don’t have all the answers. It’s ok if you are struggling.

But, your people need you.

Your people need to know that you truly have their backs, that you are being open and honest with them and that you really do understand what they are going through.

This is the time to connect with your people so that they feel understood and valued.

And enough with saying you know how to do this cause you read some leadership best seller!

It doesn’t matter how many leadership books you’ve read or how many podcasts you listen to, what matters today is your ability to move from leadership theory to leadership in action.

Leadership in action takes self-awareness, subsequent upskilling, thoughtfulness, commitment, innovation, heart, trust and vulnerability; the latter sometimes being the hardest for Leaders.

But here's the thing, if you show all these to your people day in and day out, even if you start from today, guess what you can build and grow in your team?

==> self-awareness, subsequent upskilling, thoughtfulness, commitment, innovation, heart, trust and vulnerability

And these are the building blocks for high performing organizations.

I know this topic is on the mind of many Leaders, because I've had over 100 people register up for my free webinar earlier this month on Leading with Compassion, I've signed up new clients for my Leadership Expression One to One Coaching Program and the #1 corporate training topic I will be delivering in May is Leadership.

Your people need you to communicate with compassion, confidence and clarity.

I know it's tough, but this is your moment to serve, engage, support, guide, and motivate.

I'm rooting for you!
