🔎 Show Notes: Welcome to Day 5 of our Humanizing the Workplace series here on The Integrated Leader Podcast. Today, we’re closing the week with a much-needed conversation about pace—and how speed is shaping the way we lead, connect, and burn out. Too often, the workplace rewards urgency, fast answers, and constant availability. But if we’re honest, that speed is costing us something: presence, clarity, empathy, and often our own well-being. In this episode, we talk about: • Why “faster” leadership isn’t always better leadership • The difference between momentum and chronic urgency • What it looks like to lead in rhythm with your nervous system, not against it If you’ve ever said, “I just need to get through this week,” this episode is your invitation to pause, breathe, and rethink what you’re modeling—for your team and yourself. ⸻ 💬 Today’s Reflection Prompt: “Where am I rushing past what really matters?” ⸻ 🧠 Key Quote: “Humanizing the workplace starts with humanizing the pace. Burnout isn’t a badge—it’s a boundary that’s been ignored for too long.” ⸻ 🔗 Stay Connected: Thank you for joining me for this series. If this week brought clarity or comfort, I’d love to hear from you. Share this episode, tag a colleague, or just take a deep breath—and keep choosing to lead from your humanity. More practical leadership content is coming soon, and until then, stay grounded. Stay curious. Stay human.
