In today's episode, we're tackling a hard truth that might shake up everything you believe about leadership: being constantly available isn't making you a better leader—it's actively sabotaging your success. Research shows that the "always-on" approach is draining your productivity by up to 40%. Today, we're exploring why this happens and how to fix it.

I take you through the fascinating psychology behind our compulsion to say 'yes', drawing from Steve Chandler's brilliant framework of the 'social self' versus the 'professional self'. We unpack how our early conditioning—especially for women—creates a 'good girl' syndrome that can secretly sabotage our leadership effectiveness. I’ll also share practical strategies for breaking free from these patterns and crafting an authentic leadership style that honours both your goals and your energy.

The real game-changer? Learning that authentic leadership isn't about constant availability—it's about intentional boundaries. I’ll show you exactly how to shift from reflexive people-pleasing to strategic leadership, even if setting boundaries feels uncomfortable at first. This discomfort isn't just normal; it's actually a signal that you're growing into a more powerful leader.

Key Episode Takeaways:

• The 40% Productivity Drain: How constant availability sabotages your success

• The Social vs Professional Self: Understanding your leadership identity

• Strategic Boundary Setting: Practical tools for saying 'no' effectively

• Energy Management: Why it's your secret leadership weapon
