E10 - Becoming the Leader in You - Kim Taylor - Helping Leadders Not to Drown

In this episode of the Becoming the Leader in You podcast, I’m joined by Kim Taylor of www.withkim.co.uk, for a thoughtful and honest conversation about leadership, wellbeing, confidence, and what really happens when high-performing professionals keep pushing without stopping to check in on themselves.Kim brings decades of experience working with leaders, executives, and organisations, helping people develop professionally without losing themselves personally. We explored the growing pressure many leaders face to constantly deliver, stay visible, remain resilient, and somehow still maintain balance outside of work.At what point does being “driven” quietly become exhaustion?We spoke about:• Why many successful leaders still struggle with confidence and self-worth• The pressure of constantly performing at a high level• Creating healthier leadership habits without losing ambition• Emotional wellbeing in leadership roles• Why self-awareness matters more than most leadership models• Supporting teams while managing your own pressure• The importance of authenticity and human connection in leadershipThis wasn’t a conversation filled with corporate jargon or textbook leadership theory.It was real, reflective, practical, and human. Using swimming analogies throughout as Kim is also a long distance swimmer! This was a conversation about leadership that starts with the person behind the title.If you’re a leader, manager, business owner, or someone trying to balance performance with wellbeing, this episode will give you plenty to think about.You can contact Kim at:[email protected] can also contact us at:[email protected]'t forget to listen on Apple, Amazon and Spotify too.#Leadership #Wellbeing #ExecutiveCoaching #Burnout #LeadershipDevelopment #MentalWellbeing #PeopleLeadership #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfAwareness #Coaching #PersonalGrowth #Management #WorkplaceCulture #BusinessLeadership #BecomingTheLeaderInYou
