What You Need to Know About ‘Gut Check’

Working extra hours to “put the team on your back” leads to an unbalanced life. Trust me, I’ve been there.

The “work harder” mindset is an easy recipe for burnout and frayed relationships. We aren’t superheroes. We’re leaders. But sometimes we need tools and tactics to help us be the leaders we want to be without losing sight of the humans we are.

That’s where Gut Check comes in.

What is Gut Check?

It’s my bi-weekly newsletter meant to guide emerging leaders, founders, and early-stage entrepreneurs through the growing pains of consciousness, leadership, clarity, and alignment:

• Consciousness → Managing yourself in the context of your business
• Leadership → Being the change you wish to see in the world
• Clarity → Understanding and seeing the big picture of your organization
• Alignment → Engaging and driving results with your team

On each newsletter’s topic, I share my take, scientific data and professional surveys, and related resources from some of the brightest minds in the leadership development sphere.
