From Burnout to Buy-In: Navigating Leadership’s Toughest Moments

Sometimes  the most difficult challenge senior leadership faces is finding purpose in their work.  

It’s not that they don’t care about the company or their teams.  It’s a more subtle sense that something is missing.  The job is no longer fulfilling.   That they are stagnating or are meaningless in their roles.

This can be particularly perplexing when overall you are successful at what you do – and it’s not like there’s something else that looks a lot better.

Today we are joined by the fabulous Marla Bace.  Having successfully navigated several career transitions herself, Marla now helps senior leadership find renewed purpose in their work – or identify what their next – more fulfilling – role might be.

In this episode of A Seat at The Table, Marla will share 

• Why leadership needs to look beyond self-awareness  and emotional intelligence, and lean into intuition and purpose in order to find work that aligns with them.
• Practical strategies for senior executives who are facing career boredom that can help reignite excitement and identify strategic pivots.
• Balancing data-driven decisions with intuition to build greater team engagement and loyalty.

This episode is part of our new Leadership Edge series.

We developed this series because while performance gets you in the room.
Presence is what makes people listen.

We’re unpacking the leadership skills that help you stand out—create real influence, earn loyalty, and build the right relationships.

Because visibility isn’t luck. It’s built.
