491: Behind the Rank: Ashley DeLauro on When Encouragement Is the Mask
About this episode
Ashley DeLauro discusses the pressures of leadership and the feeling of being an imposter despite achieving success.
We are told that if we just work hard enough, hit the next rank, and lead the team to the top, we will finally find the freedom we were promised. But for many, reaching that pinnacle feels less like a celebration and more like a heavy burden. In this installment of Behind the Rank , I am joined by Ashley DeLauro to pull back the curtain on what happens when encouragement becomes a mask. Ashley built an incredible organization, hitting the top 1% of her company in record time. Yet, despite the awards and the stage time, she found herself feeling like an imposter, terrified that if she stopped pushing, it would all disappear. We dig into the "Performer Mask," the exhausting cycle of constantly pumping the tires of your team, the reality of leading through borrowed belief, and how the pressure to be perfect actually disconnects you from the very people you are trying to help. If you have ever felt like you are running a race that has no finish line, or if you are tired of using motivation as a way to manage your own fear, this conversation with Ashley is for you. We are moving past the hustle and exploring how to lead from a place of genuine connection and calling. Listen to Learn…
