Welcome to the Evolve Leadership Podcast where we explore how to navigate seasons of transition and step up as leaders.

📖 In this episode:

Angus and Timm discuss the internal challenges all leaders face during times of transition - whether starting a new role, getting promoted, expanding your business or rebuilding after a setback.

🔹Highlights:

• Fear and resistance are common when facing change. Your mind tries to pull you back to “safety”.
• Imposter syndrome, feeling "unworthy" and self-doubt sabotage your growth.
• All your past experiences have prepared you for this moment. See transition as a promotion.
• Ask yourself: “Who must I be to accomplish this next level?” Align with that identity.
• Inputs matter: change self-talk, get a mentor, build a supportive community.
• Draw on past successes as proof you can handle more. Focus on the gains made.
