Why does growth always feel like a fight or flight type event? I have learned to recognize the patterns of my growth by identifying the emotions that come with it. When I find myself overwhelmed, confused, with a list too long to ever complete, I have created the habit of stopping and recognizing these events as growth. Labeling them as such takes the panic of the unknown out. Labeling them also lets me know that this is where I learn. It changes my mindset from that of fear to openness. If these are the signs of growth, then I better sit down and observe, take notes, and come up with a plan. This time the tumultuous bubbling of growth came with the observation that I didn't really know how to be a boss. How to be a leader. I’ve been blessed with Type A friends my entire life and I love how they boss me around so I’ve never had to do the bossing. But as PWR WMN grows I’m realizing that it would be a disservice to them and our future for me to not step in as the leader my company deserves. I’ve always led myself, now I need to learn how to lead others. My first observation in this new stage is that I tend to lead by leaning into supporting those who support me. What do they need to be the best at what I hired them for? This learning is coming in real time so I have nothing else to share, but if you have any book recommendations or podcasts that could help me, please please share them with me!
