Listen Later

Every leader has that project...The one that’s been sitting on your list for months (or years) because you don’t know where to start. In today’s episode, Alan breaks down a simple but powerful 3-step framework to help you get unstuck and finally take action on the work that matters most.

Whether you’re writing a book, launching a new initiative, creating a new offering, or trying to push a big idea across the finish line, this episode gives you a proven path forward rooted in clarity, momentum, and healthy leadership practices.

This teaching comes directly from the H2 coaching process and aligns with the principles in Alan’s book Anti-Burnout: A Lighter Way to Live and Lead in a Heavy World.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
  • Why feeling stuck is not a leadership flaw—it’s a signal

  • The first mindset shift required to create movement

  • The exact 3 questions you must ask to break through resistance

  • How healthy leaders use who and how to move faster—with less stress

  • A practical way to break down overwhelming projects into actionable next steps

    Three Questions to Get You Unstuck
    1. Who can help me?

    2. How can I do this more lightly (not harder)?

    3. What smaller chunks can I break this into?
