Join us for the inaugural episode of season 5 of the Seasons Leadership Podcast. We discuss the transformational season of leadership we know metaphorically as winter. The energy of winter is different, things slow down, we are more self-oriented and self-reflective. Discover how this period, though outwardly quiet, under the surface provides the opportunity for us to transform not only ourselves but our leadership.
 
Show notes:

In this episode we talk about:

· Honoring the time and space to transform and the importance of feeling our feelings.

· How you know when you are experiencing “winter.”

· Actionable advice on what to do when you are experiencing winter in your life and as a leader.

· What to avoid or resist during this season.

· We end with a discussion on self-care. Excellent leaders have a responsibility to take care of themselves.

Get started on improving your leadership journey by reflecting with us on what the season of winter has to offer you.
