Weโve been told...
โ To be tougher.
โ To bounce back faster.
โ To develop our own grit and to embrace the suck.
While some of that can help, we donโt have to do it alone.
In my latest conversation with Bill Hefferman on What Do You Know To Be True?, he flips that script entirely when he saysโฆ

In this clip from the conversation with Bill Hefferman, we deconstruct the myth of the "lone wolf leader." We explore why true resilience is actually a team sport and how shifting from "me" to "we" can stop the burnout cycle.
If you have been trying to build resilience by "toughening up" and isolating yourself, you are likely feeling more exhausted than empowered. For many in leadership, the path of personal development and the transition from climbing the corporate ladder to living in alignment with your values and purpose brings a unique kind of fatigue. We often feel we have to hide our struggles to maintain our authority, but this "lone wolf" mentality is a fast path to burnout.
In this episode, resilience expert Bill Hefferman reveals why true adaptability isn't a solo sportโฆit is a team effort. We explore why the most resilient leaders aren't the ones who endure alone, but the ones who have the mindset to build deep connections and psychological safety with others.
If you are a coach, organizational leader, or professional feeling the weight of your own 'reinvention,' this conversation offers a permission slip to stop white-knuckling your evolution. We discuss how to shift from 'powering through' to building a network of support that makes everyone stronger.
Bill shares a simple, three-step process to help you navigate the messy 'neutral zone' of career transitions without losing your sense of self. We also discuss why 'collective resilience' is the missing link for teams that want to bounce back better from adversity."
