When everything feels urgent, try this 4-question filter: ❓ Real deadline? ❓ Connect to goals? ❓ Resources available? ❓ Impact if delayed? ✨ A pause brings clarity. Coaching can help if you’re juggling multiple bosses or shifting priorities.

Overwhelmed by tasks that all feel urgent? 🕒 Ask: What is the real deadline? Often, it’s not as immediate as you think. ✨ This one question protects your time + energy. ➡️ More tips in my new article: How to Prioritize When Everything Feels Important wendycary.com/hub/how-to-p...

Covering a few extra tasks “until things settle” can quietly shift your priorities. Our latest article shares how to sort the work, the weight, and what’s truly yours to carry: wendycary.com/hub/reevalua...

3 ways to say no without sounding difficult:

🔹 "I can help, but it will delay [task]. Which takes priority?"

🔹 "I’m focused on [task]. Can we revisit later?"

🔹 "I’m at capacity. Who else can take this on?"

Your title didn’t change. But your workload sure did.

One day you realize you’re doing the work of two people—without the recognition.

If you wait until everything’s done to rest, you’ll never rest. Invisible work keeps adding up. Rest isn’t a reward—it’s what protects your clarity, capacity, and ability to lead well. #Leadership

Before September hits full speed, ask yourself:

● What’s mine to carry, and what’s not?

● What emotional load have I taken on that isn’t mine?

● What support would help me lead with less strain?

New blog’s up. Link in bio. Or DM me if you’re ready for support.

I used to think I had to manage my team’s feelings. I thought it made me a good leader.

Then I learned the difference between being responsible to others vs for them.

That shift changed how I lead. Blog’s up now with more on this. wendycary.com/hub/responsi...

Our RESILIENT cohort just graduated! 🎓 Over 13 weeks, they learned to lead with clarity, not carry others’ emotions.

One participant said: I can support my team without taking on their emotions—and that’s changed everything.

DM me to ask about the next cohort.

You’re calm on the outside. Carrying everyone else’s stress inside.

This is what emotional labor in leadership looks like—quiet, invisible, heavy.

Ever leave a meeting drained but can’t say why?

Say “yes” if you feel this. I’m sharing more next week to help you carry less.

Reactive workplaces distort your voice.
