In 2023, 76% of leaders deal with loneliness. In 2024, will you be a part of the 24% that do something about it?
The solution: you need community!
Leadership and vulnerability are rarely in the same sentence…why?
Most leaders feel isolated with no one to talk to and no one to trust. The pressure to be strong and decisive, the lack of meaningful confidants, and the absence of a sounding board are usually the reasons for feeling isolated.
Several studies have pointed to the negative effects of social comparison, imposter syndrome, and the fear of vulnerability. It may feel like no one truly understands the emotional toll it can take.
