Rest alone does not rewire that. Seeing the pattern does. If you lead leaders, or you are in the middle of that squeeze yourself: what is one belief about delegation or rest you have had to unlearn in your career, and what replaced it?

High stakes leadership is existential, not just operational. My new article makes the case that when the pressure becomes existential, performance coaching is no longer enough: executives need coaching that addresses the weight of real consequence and the health of the whole person behind the title.
