Leadership was never meant to drain the soul; It was meant to multiply impact. The real question is: are you leading from overflow or depletion?
Welcome to the Rise Experience Podcast, where faith, leadership, personal growth, and purpose align for lasting impact. I’m Shannon Denniston, and this show is for growth-minded leaders who want to rise into their God-given calling while leading with authenticity and heart.
Episode Highlights
In this episode, I share how leaders can create a lasting impact without burning themselves out. I discuss why service should never lead to self-destruction and how boundaries, rest, vision, and delegation can help sustain influence. I also explain why leading from identity, not insecurity, enables us to lead with clarity, conserve our energy, and present ourselves in a way that genuinely impacts those we serve.
Main Takeaways
- Leadership without boundaries leads to burnout, not breakthrough.
- Rest and delegation are not weaknesses — they are multipliers of impact.
- Leading from identity fosters trust and prevents decisions driven by insecurity.
- Saying “no” with purpose protects energy and sustains influence.
- How leaders show up directly shapes the experience of those they lead.
