In this episode of L&D Leadership Edge, host Sheree Comninellis speaks to ambitious L&D professionals about why trying to work on everything at once often leads to stagnation, not growth. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by development goals or unsure where to focus your energy, this episode explains why leadership growth happens through depth, not breadth — and how choosing one clear leadership focus can accelerate your confidence, visibility, and impact.
