Some days, you're just not feeling that SpongeBob energy—and that's okay. Leadership doesn’t always mean being hyper-positive. In this real-talk session, we explore what it means to lead while feeling burnt out, frustrated, or low-energy. Participants will:

• Normalize emotional fluctuations (fatigue, frustration, apathy) in leadership roles.​

• Reflect on how honesty and vulnerability can foster team trust and psychological safety.​

• Identify strategies to recharge while maintaining support for others and sustaining impact.
