Send us a text You committed to speaking up more in meetings. You lasted three days. Now it"s been three weeks, and your inner critic is convinced you don"t have what it takes to lead at the next level. Sound familiar? Here is the truth that changes everything: You do not have a capability problem. You have a recovery problem. Most leaders think the key to success is discipline—never falling off the wagon. But the reality is that executives fall off just as often as middle managers. The difference is speed. A middle manager takes three months to recover; an executive recovers in three hours. In this episode, I am breaking down exactly why you keep starting and stopping your professional development initiatives, and I’m introducing The Quick Recovery Method—a 4-step framework specifically designed to help you stop the shame spiral and build real momentum. In this episode, you will learn:The "Discipline Myth": Why relying on willpower to stay consistent is a guaranteed strategy for failure.The 4-Step Framework: How to use the "Recognize, Reframe, Replace, Restart" method to get back on track in minutes, not months.The "Bridge Thought" Strategy: How to bypass toxic positivity and find the specific thoughts that actually move you into action right now.The Black Friday Trap: Why buying another planner or leadership course won"t fix your follow-through problem (and what actually will). If you have a graveyard of half-finished goals and are ready to stop beating yourself up for being human, this episode is your reset button.
