You know you shouldn't work evenings. You know you're exhausted. You know your effectiveness is dropping.

So why are you still logging on at 9pm?

In this week's episode I'm sharing what came up in client sessions and workshops about evening work patterns, building team capability without budget, and why your experience might be your biggest liability right now.

We're exploring:

→ The sleep boundary problem - why the evening work habit isn't dedication, it's a symptom of deeper issues around self-worth and what you're avoiding by staying busy

→ The subject matter expert strategy - how to motivate your team and build capability when you can't give pay rises (this costs nothing but creates everything)

→ Future-ready leadership - why the habits that made you successful are becoming outdated faster than you can adapt

Two clients this week, both working evenings. One exhausted with effectiveness decreasing despite hours increasing. Another working until 10pm with self-worth tied to work hours. Both know it's not sustainable. Both still doing it.

If you've been in leadership for a while, your experience might be working against you. Environments are changing. Situations are changing. People are changing. Your brain wants to keep doing what worked - even when it's not working anymore.
