Sprint into September: Mastering the Overwhelm

In this special episode of 'Scaling New Heights: Leadership at the Next Level,' host Nick Sellers breaks the routine to address the September overwhelm that many leaders face.

As Q4 looms, the pressure mounts, leading to potential burnout and decreased productivity.

Nick explains why working harder is not the solution and introduces three actionable steps to reset focus: pausing for thinking space, prioritizing ruthlessly, and communicating clearly.

This episode emphasizes the importance of focusing on impactful tasks rather

than busyness and offers strategies to finish the year strong. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on what truly matters before year-end and to tap into

coaching for enhanced clarity and leadership effectiveness.
