Is your star player always saying "yes," taking on more, and smiling through it all? What if that incredible willingness is masking deep stress, putting them on a collision course with burnout... or worse, an unexpected exit? Too many leaders miss the subtle signs until it's too late.

In this episode of The Reins of Leadership, we step into the arena to understand the "Eager Pleaser" – that invaluable team member whose desire to do right might be pushing them to their breaking point.

Key Takeaways:

• Look beyond the 'yes' for hidden stress.
• Understand fear often drives over-pleasing.
• Create safety for honesty before breakdown.
• Model healthy boundaries yourself.

If this conversation about hidden pressures, sustainable success, and leading with authentic presence resonates deeply – especially if you see the "eager pleaser" in yourself or feel the weight of ensuring your team thrives without burning out – then The Leadership Realignment Session is your next powerful step.

This isn't just another coaching call. It’s a dedicated 1:1 experience designed for successful women leaders like you who are ready to:

• Break free from the cycle of overwhelm and constant output.
• Lead with genuine self-trust, presence, and unshakeable purpose.
• Realign your inner world with your outer success, creating impact without the internal cost.

Stop managing symptoms and start addressing the core. It's time to lead from a place of grounded power and authentic connection.
