Episode 118: Is Internal Pressure Causing You to Lose Passion and Productivity?

• May 6, 2021

“Don’t ever let the pressure exceed the pleasure.” – Joe Maddon

Does it feel like there is constant external pressures on you and your work? Is it possible that you are using external pressure to hide or confirm pressure you are feeling internally?

Today, Faye Davis talks with Carla Sones about internal pressures and how it effects our work and lives. As leaders, we so often don’t take care of ourselves as much as we care for the people we work with. We can fall into the trap of not giving ourselves grace and to expect no road bumps in our work. This puts too much weight on our day to days.

Carla shares encouragement on how to not perceive success and failure as your self worth and how to relieve some of that stress. Pressure can be a positive force for productivity, but how do we not let it shift to demanding too much of ourselves? Tune in to this episode to find out!
