Episode 250: How to Break Resilience Myths and Spring Forward with Russell Harvey

We push through, take on more than we should, and keep moving even when something does not feel right. From the outside, that can look like leadership strength or resilience. Inside, it can feel very different.

In How to Break Resilience Myths and Spring Forward withRussell Harvey, I sit down with leadership coach Russell Harvey for a thoughtful conversation about what resilience really means for leaders and executive teams.

Together, they challenge the myths many leaders have learned to accept, especially the idea that resilience means pushing harder, carrying more, and keeping it all moving no matter what.

Through stories, reflection, and practical insight, this conversation helps you look at resilience, leadership energy, and over-functioning through a different lens. It also brings forward the role of self-awareness, the cost of staying in constant motion, and the kind of pause that can help leaders regain perspective before pressure starts affecting their confidence, decisions, and team impact.

In this episode, listeners will:

Gain a clearer and more practical way to think about resilience in leadership

Recognize patterns that may be draining energy, weakening perspective, or pulling them into over-functioning

Reflect on how greater awareness can strengthen leadership impact, team experience, and decision making
