She helps first-time leaders survive the identity crisis nobody warned them about
Episode Description
Valeria Collu on putting her financial career on hold, coaching yourself like your best friend, and why becoming a leader is nothing like getting promoted.
📚 What You'll Learn
How to run "time experiments" to figure out what energises you without blowing up your career in the process.
The calculated-risk question that makes scary transitions way less terrifying: "Can I go back if this doesn't work out?"
Why getting promoted into leadership is a completely different game and why most organisations fail their people right at that moment.
✍️ Some Takeaways
When you stop being challenged, that's information, not a sign to stay put.
Reframe failure as data, and make the risk feel smaller.
Burnout doesn't announce itself, and by the time it does, it's usually too late.
The first-time leader identity crisis is real and almost nobody talks about it.
