As a visionary leader, your mental health is not just about whether you have a diagnosis or not, or if you're sick. It's about your ability to effectively navigate the world and make a real difference. Visionary leaders, like you, have different considerations and additional challenges when it comes to mental health. It's not just about mental illness or having a diagnosis. It's about understanding and embracing your unique intensities and sensitivities.
Navigating Mental Health as a Visionary Leader
As someone who has been involved in caring about mental health since the 70s, Dianne your host has a great appreciation for the mental health of intensely sensitive people and visionaries. Visionary leaders are not just defined by their position in a company, but by their ability to see things differently and guide others in a meaningful, positive manner. Whether you're actively working in a corporate setting or enjoying retirement, your visionary leadership extends to all aspects of your life.
If you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling with burnout and compassion fatigue, know that there is always help available. Seeking support and prioritizing your mental health is a crucial step towards maintaining your well-being as a visionary leader. Remember, radical self-care is vital for sustaining your ability to make a positive impact in the world.
