"I've really appreciated being a part of this and having the support from Lachie and Corey.
It has been eye opening for me and has helped me move through things I've lived with in my life, that I shouldn't be putting up with. Thank you!"
-Steph Wilson, Peer Support Co-ordinator, Rio Tinto
Leadership can be a lonely place.
You're balancing your workload, family and the personalities in your team.
If you get it wrong...
You'll spend your RnRs worrying about work, not connecting with your family.
You'll spend your swings worrying about your family, not connecting with your team, not fully focused on your tasks.
Soon enough, you end up feeling isolated, like you can't really open up or share what's going on, bottling it all up until the pressure and the workload catch up to you.
To make up for it, you start spending money and setting BIG goals, but nothing feels like it's ever enough.
Your mind starts running rampant.
It takes you forever to fall asleep and you wake up feeling exhausted.
All of a sudden you're overthinking what's next, procrastinating and avoiding the tough conversations.
Then snap! A bad decision...
Throwing one of your team under the bus. Yelling at the kids or being short and snappy with your partner over nothing.
Now your relationships are starting to suffer. Home doesn't really feel like home and you're hearing murmurs that your team are talking about you behind your back.
Is anyone home?
Now IMAGINE...
You're a trusted and respected leader.
No matter the pressures, you choose to lead with integrity, doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
You control your thoughts, they no longer control you.
As a result, your team looks up to you because you tackle hard conversations and decisions head on, communicating confidently and respectfully, as soon as they come up.
You fly back to your family, easily switching off, being fully present, creating memories.
They feel loved, and you feel connected.
Your relationships just get better and better with this peace of mind, and all of a sudden, you start to fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow, waking up refreshed and ready to takle whatever the day throws at you.

Blaming, micromanaging and talking shit about your team when they're not around.
Worrying about every little decision so much that you're always stuck in your head.
Avoiding tough conversations because you second guess yourself and if you're saying the right things.
Holding the reigns so tight "just incase" something goes wrong.
Holding your people back so that your team is dependant on you.
Having to be the fixer, worrying if your phone is going to wake you up tonight.
Making excuses why you have to work instead of spending time with the kids.
Spending money to make up for the lack of connection you have.
Getting flustered, saying and doing things you regret.
Feeling like nothing is ever enough, no matter how much you spend, try or sacrifice.
