Why Self-Care is Essential for Strong Leadership: Leading from a Place of Balance

As a leader, you’re constantly on the go—juggling responsibilities, making decisions, and supporting your team. But just like a performer on stage, you can’t deliver a great performance without taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental health. Leadership is demanding, and when you neglect self-care, your performance can suffer—just like an actor who doesn’t prepare their body or mind for a role. You wouldn’t expect an actor to give their best performance without proper rest, training, or focus, and as a leader, the same rules apply.

“Rob’s sessions are extremely powerful in building the right mindset, creating trust and developing leaders to be more effective and inspiring communicators.”

“Rob is a well-grounded and well-rounded coach. He taught me the power of story-telling. It has meant a great deal in my development as a leader. He is able to select the right combination of exercises for the right time.”

“Rob makes leaders shine. I engaged Rob to help coach and train two performing CEO’s in facilitation and speech delivery. Rob used a conversational and casual coaching style which helped disarm the mechanical/processed sequencing often associated in these trainings.”

“Rob provided a safe space and optimal learning opportunity for us to increase our individual communication capabilities, as well as enhance the relational fabric of our team. The word spread fast in our office and he has been asked to deliver another session for a colleague and her team.”

“Rob is great to work with…he really cares about listening to your requirements, bringing that brief to life and delivering on it. He’s always curious, engaged, motivated, highly flexible and reliable and delivers what he says he will!”

“When I watch Rob working with senior leaders there are a couple of words that come to mind: passion, authenticity, helping others to transform, compelling and engaging. Last but not least a pleasure to work with!”
