Strengths-Based Leadership in an Era of Change Fatigue

Welcome back, friends! In this episode of the Grounding and Growing Leadership Podcast, Tara is joined by co-host Pamela Nelson to unpack a reality many leaders and teams are feeling: change fatigue. Together, they explore why constant change leaves people emotionally and mentally drained, and how it often shows up as disengagement, resistance, and even over-control. Tara and Pamela share practical, strengths-based strategies to help restore resilience, including clarifying roles, creating stabilizing rhythms, building connection and trust, and rehearsing more helpful “soundtracks” so teams can stay grounded in the midst of ongoing change. This episode is thoughtful, approachable, and grounding; an encouraging reset for leaders navigating a rapidly changing world.  Registration for our next Grounded Leadership cohort is now open!  Registration for our next Growth-Focused Leader cohort is now pen!  SHIFT Leadership Event is returning for 2026! Interested in becoming a sponsor for SHIFT, learning more about the SHIFT event, or learning more about our special guest speaker, Jon Acuff?
