Dr. Jody Carrington

So he built relationships so beautifully in relationships that even he left.

I was like, hey, who are you?

Who are you?

wanda's daughter from 1983 yeah i just wanted to i was like i said to curtis check that look at that there's another one huh

Now, I tell you that story because relationship is the undermining thing of any piece in leadership.

The idea is when I don't have access to my own self because so many people have access to me, I lose access to the best parts of me.

Not my capacity to be a great leader.

I lose access to it.

And that's the definition of burnout.

You don't lose your ability to be great.

You lose access to it.

Let's never underestimate our ability to continue to serve and to show up for people.

If we don't look after ourselves and this feels selfish, we are not built for this.

Rest is for us synonymous with lazy, right?

Yeah.

It's what our dads taught us, many of us, which made sense to us because we only had eight hours a day then to push through.

Now, everybody has access to us all the time.

So our ability to sink in and be emotionally intelligent is the thing that I think we're going to have to work the hardest in this next generation.

Listen, anytime.

You are amazing.
