Are you a high-performing leader who starts the week energised and prepared, only to reach Friday utterly drained—no matter how much rest you manage?
You’re not alone, and you’re certainly not failing You’re not tired because you’re not strong enough. Your energy isn’t being refilled by sleep or the weekend because unseen energy leaks are at play.
This is a quiet crisis affecting exceptional leaders everywhere. These subtle leaks often go unnoticed by your conscious mind. They show up as hesitation, late-night rechecking, and an undercurrent of doubt, even as you appear outwardly calm and prepared.
What’s really happening?
Hidden energy leaks often stem from your nervous system, particularly when it doesn’t fully align with the leadership role you’ve worked so hard to achieve. For many women who have moved up through technical professions—such as law, finance, or healthcare—the drive for excellence and relentless output takes a toll at a deeper level.
The root cause isn’t a lack of skill or intelligence.
This state can’t be fixed by working harder or simply pushing through. When left unchecked, it affects not only you, but your team and your entire leadership presence. It’s often a subtle misalignment within your nervous system—a kind of “hyper vigilance” born out of unprocessed stress, doubt, and over-functioning.
How do these energy leaks present?
You might feel a subtle doubt before speaking in a critical meeting, catch yourself re-checking work after hours, or notice your self-assurance waver for just a moment. These aren’t flaws; they’re signals that unresolved stress, over-functioning, and unprocessed experiences are keeping your nervous system in a state of hyper-vigilance.
This continual state isn’t something you can think or power your way out of, and traditional rest doesn’t address the root cause.
What’s more, your team picks up even the faintest shifts in your presence. Leadership isn’t about flawless execution—it’s about genuine presence. When your nervous system is strained, your presence wavers, creating a sense of uncertainty within the team and subtly undermining trust and performance.
What’s the way forward?
