Podcast Details:

In part two of this powerful five-part mini-series of the 360 LeadHERship podcast, I talked about the second mistake she sees even the most senior women in leadership making: equating busyness with value.

This is more than just being organised or efficient. It's a deep, often subconscious pattern that stems from how we were conditioned: to overachieve, to seek gold stars, and to prove ourselves through relentless doing. But at senior levels, this pattern doesn’t elevate you; it erodes your executive presence, energy, and influence.


Tune in to Discover:

  • The hidden mindset trap keeping high-achieving women stuck on the hamster wheel
  • How over-functioning is silently impacting your confidence, relationships, and results
  • A powerful reframe to shift from busy leader to strategic leader
  • Real-life stories of women who broke the cycle and stepped into confident, calm leadership
  • Practical mindset shifts and goal setting strategies you can implement today
