Burnout Proof Leadership: Shift Your Identity, Develop New Skills & Leverage Workplace Tensions to Unlock your Next Level

In this Polarity Spotlight episode, we reveal the hidden polarity behind Mel Robbins' Let Them Theory—and why it’s essential for shaping your leadership identity.

Through practical examples and reflective prompts in this episode, you’ll learn how to lead with purpose, maintain emotional clarity, and respond with confidence—even when others don’t meet your expectations.
