Episode notes
Do you ever feel like you’re running on fumes? Too exhausted, busy, and overwhelmed to even think about how you’re showing up as a leader? In this episode of The Inner Edge, Janet Ioli explores why your leadership presence isn’t something to “get to later,” but rather the very thing that transforms how you spend your time, your energy, and your life. Through a powerful story from a recent executive program, Janet shares the all-too-familiar refrain of leaders who feel “too tired to focus on presence.” Then she flips that thinking on its head, showing why you’re actually too tired not to. This conversation is both a wake-up call and an invitation: to pause, breathe, and reconsider what efficiency, resilience, and leadership truly mean.
