YES! Especially If You’re Experiencing Any One of These … Including but not Limited to Stress, Anxiety or burnout.

1. Loneliness at the Top

You can’t fully speak freely—to staff, board, investors, or even friends. Decisions carry consequences, and vulnerability feels risky. Many execs feel emotionally isolated despite being surrounded by people.

2. Decision Fatigue at High Stakes

Every decision is expensive—financially, reputationally, culturally. The weight isn’t how many decisions, but how irreversible they feel.

3. Carrying Everyone Else’s Emotional State

Leaders absorb fear, uncertainty, ambition, resentment, and expectation—from teams, clients, shareholders. This creates chronic nervous system load and unspoken stress.

4. Identity = Role Confusion

When you are the company (or the title), failure feels personal. Many executives quietly ask:

“Who am I if this stops?”

5. Imposter Syndrome (Yes—Even at the Top)

It doesn’t disappear with success—it evolves. Executives fear being “found out” as markets shift or new challenges emerge.

6. Inability to Fully Switch Off

The mind never truly rests. Even on holidays, the system is “on call.” This leads to burnout that doesn’t look like burnout—more like numbness, irritability, or loss of joy.

7. Making Values-Based Decisions Under Pressure

Short-term results vs long-term integrity.
People vs profit.
Speed vs wisdom.
These tensions create moral fatigue, not just stress.

8. Managing Power Without Losing Humanity

As power increases, feedback decreases. Executives worry about becoming disconnected, arrogant, or out of touch—yet struggle to get honest mirrors.

9. Letting Go of Control

Delegation sounds simple; emotionally, it’s brutal. Trusting others with what you built can feel like micro-loss after micro-loss.

10. Meaning After Achievement

Once the milestones are hit, many feel an unexpected emptiness. The question becomes:

“Is this it?” This often triggers existential questioning rather than motivation.
