Why Being the Chief Everything Officer is Killing Your Career with Alli Murphy

In this episode, we sit down with Alli, founder of Work and Thrive HQ, to talk about how you can get trapped in the Chief Everything Officer role where you’re being the default for everything, saying yes by default, stepping in because it’s faster, and staying constantly available until you burn out.Alli shares how she hit that point as a young director during COVID, working nonstop and realizing she needed outside coaching to change. We break down why “always being on” is one of the sneakiest parts of the loop, how it can feel like good leaders, and how it keeps your nervous system and your team stuck.You’ll also hear practical ways to untangle your identity from work, including a “superpowers” outreach exercise, a joy-and-energy audit, and modeling boundaries and self-care openly so you can lead strategically and still have a life.To connect with Alli:LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alisonmurphy541/)Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/itsallimurphy/)Work & Thrive HQ (https://itsallimurphy.com/)Got something to say?
