This week, a client learned (the hard way) what perfectionism really costs.
She didn’t hit the wall because she wasn’t capable.
She hit it because she was - and she kept proving it.
Taking on too much. Not saying no. Carrying the load like it was hers alone… until it almost broke her.
Then came the shift: she stepped back and realised the support was already there.
A partner ready to step in.
A strong team willing to share the weight.
The gap wasn’t capability - it was mindset.
Leadership isn’t doing more.
It’s letting go of the need to be everything to everyone…
Friday Fuel Career Reflection Questions
- Where are you still acting like it’s all on you?
- What’s one “no” you need to say next week to protect what matters most?
- Who could you let in, so you can lead with more steadiness and less strain?
Happy reflecting.
Have a lovely weekend.
