Is your identity tied to your role?

There's a paradox as leaders are expected to "give it all", yet when they leave and their position is replaced, it is as if a drop left a bucket, and the next drop is coming in.

But what happens behind the passion, the mission, and the energy of ready individuals who are expected to give a lot?

How do you create your identity when you need to switch roles, whether it's willingly or not?

Understanding the link between role and identity can help individuals navigate career transitions and make informed decisions.

You'll get away with:

  • 5 concepts which provide insight into how individuals approach their roles and can impact well-being.
  • Raising your awareness to manage stress and avoid burnout (or at least, mitigate its risk).
  • uncover if, and how you can find a balance between identity and role, recognising that they are interconnected but can also be separate to some extent.
