35: Handling Challenges as a Leader Without Getting Caught Up in Mind Drama with Wendy

SisterSmart Leadership

You’ve likely heard the saying, “you can’t control the situation, but you can control how you react to the situation.”

That can be easier said than done, but that’s exactly the skill great leaders are able to develop.

Our client, Wendy, was initially a little resistant to the mindset work, but when she was laid off from a role she didn’t enjoy, she used that time to reflect on her unique strengths and skills that helped her land the new role she’s in now.

As she transitioned into the new role, she focused on three mindsets that have helped her not only succeed in her role even when there’s conflict and challenges, but also enjoy it because her emotional response is much more balanced.

If you find yourself feeling frustrated by challenges or situations in your role, tune in to hear the mindsets Wendy has developed and how they’ve supported her!

02:20 — The mindset shift Wendy had after losing her job that helped her turn a setback into an opportunity to create a career she loves

10:28 — The importance of choosing an aligned coaching program so you’re surrounded the right types of leader to build your network

12:48 — One of the most important things you need to embrace if you want to evolve as a leader

15:49 — How practicing this one skill with yourself supports you in leading others more effectively
