Growing Pains — The Identity Shift Leaders Face at Every Stage of Expansion

Leadership Identity Through Growth: How founders and CEOs navigate the personal shifts that come with expansion

Rebecca Sarr works privately with founders, CEOs and senior leaders navigating expansion, bringing more than 20 years of experience across healing, consciousness and human transformation. Most growth advice treats scaling as a strategy problem, solved with new hires, new markets and new systems. Rebecca argues that the harder shift is personal: each stage of expansion asks the leader to outgrow the identity that built the last one, and that shift brings leadership pressure, tougher decisions and strained relationships with it. Rebecca explains how to recognise an identity shift while it is happening and how to work with what is operating beneath the surface instead of pushing through it. Listeners leave able to spot the identity shift behind a stalled stage of growth, and to treat it as part of the work rather than a personal failing.
