Welcome to Part 1 of our three-part series on the H2 Leader—a leader who is both Healthy and High-Impact. In this episode, Alan dives into the first crucial element of sustainable leadership: brakes.
Many leaders today are moving way too fast—making decisions at a breakneck pace, pushing their teams beyond capacity, and ultimately heading toward burnout. But real impact doesn’t come from speed alone; it comes from intentionality, alignment, and reflection.
Join Alan as he unpacks:
The dangers of moving too fast in leadership Why effective leaders must learn to slow down and pump the brakes The shift from efficiency to effectiveness—why rushing through tasks can hurt your team The power of daily, weekly, and quarterly reflection in leadership growth Practical tools to help leaders audit their schedules and regain control
If you find yourself constantly saying, “I just need to go faster,” this episode is for you. Learn how slowing down can actually make you more effective, present, and impactful in your leadership journey.
