Life is a lot like hiking… 🥾💙
Some trails are easy.
Some feel uphill the entire way.
Some leave you wondering if you took a wrong turn.
But every trail teaches you something.
Keep chasing the views.
Keep choosing joy.
Keep stretching beyond your comfort zone.
Keep becoming the person you’re meant to be.
And don’t forget to look around while you’re climbing… because sometimes the journey itself becomes the reward. ✨⛰️
P.S. Fresh air, blue water, sunshine, and a little perspective can fix a lot of things. ☀️
First backpacking overnighter of the season. 🎒🥾🌲 May 16-17
We were a little bit rusty, but for the most part, we make a good team - which improves the overall camping experience. ⛺️
The bugs welcomed us with open arms, especially Matthew 😳… and the ticks were also very excited to have visitors - especially our little furry camper. 🐾🦮 😣
I see this all the time with high-performing leaders…
They think doing more = leading better.
So they step in.
They fix.
They fill the gaps.
They carry the weight of the team.
And on the surface, it looks like leadership.
But over time?
It creates dependency, burnout, and a team that stops stepping up.
In this week’s episode of The Leadership Lounge, I’m breaking down a shift every executive needs to make:
What happens when you stop overfunctioning.
Because real leadership isn’t about doing it all…
it’s about creating the space for others to rise.
And when you stop overcompensating…
you finally see where the gaps really are.
