Are you truly leading… or just managing—and wondering why it feels so exhausting?
In this episode of Ascend & Ignite, Shannon Howard breaks down one of the biggest hidden reasons high-achieving women feel stuck, drained, and unfulfilled in their careers: the leadership vs. management gap.
You'll learn:
✔️ The key mindset shift between managing tasks and leading people
✔️ Why simply "doing more" won't create the career growth (or life balance) you crave
✔️ How corporate conditioning keeps women over-functioning—and under-fulfilled
✔️ The real reason management drains your energy (and how leadership fuels it)
✔️ 3 powerful steps to shift into authentic, energized leadership—starting today
If you're a corporate woman, a team leader, or an ambitious professional who feels burnt out despite "doing everything right," this conversation will hit home—and help you finally reconnect with your true power.
