High performers in the humanitarian and development sector often carry an invisible burden, the belief that everything has to be perfect, that they need to have all the answers, and that slowing down means falling behind. In this honest and refreshingly human clip from the "The Modern Humanitarian and International Development Podcast", Torrey Peace (Leadership Coach and Humentum Facilitator) names it out loud. The pressure to be perfect, always available, always on is everywhere in this sector. And it's exhausting. Torrey Peace talks about the leadership skills and mindset needed to support your team through difficult situations such as layoffs and funding cuts, make clearer decisions under pressure, and lead in a way that is values-aligned and avoids burnout.
