Introduction Join Mike Lejeune and global leadership expert Aneace Haddad as they explore how midlife challenges can unlock unexpected leadership strengths. Aneace shares his journey from tech CEO to executive coach, revealing why midlife's turbulence is a catalyst for growth. Summary Aneace discusses the "perfect storm" of midlife – a time when leaders often face burnout, identity shifts, and the need to redefine their value. He unpacks why clinging to old habits (like "telling" instead of empowering teams) limits growth and how embracing humility and uncertainty can reignite purpose. Highlights Why midlife isn't about age – it's a crossroads of energy and reflection. How parenting teenagers mirrors the shift leaders need to make: from "manager" to coach. The neuroscience behind midlife: Slower prefrontal cortex ≠ decline. It's a gateway to wisdom. Why humility + iron will = unstoppable leadership (and why most leaders discover this later). Key Takeaways Stop "telling," start empowering. If your team feels like teenagers ignoring you, it's time to shift energy. Your value isn't in having answers. It's in asking questions that unlock others' potential. Midlife isn't a crisis – it's a rebirth. Burnout often signals a need to redefine purpose, not retire. Next Steps Reflect: Where am I still "managing" instead of leading? Read Aneace's book The Eagle That Drank Hummingbird Nectar for a fictional take on midlife transformation. Tune into Part 2 for strategies to build teams that thrive in uncertainty.
