Episode 1: I’m The Problem

The Raw Side of Leadership by Dr. Denisa Weber

Welcome to the Burned and Better podcast. In the first episode, I’m sharing what happened
when I lost my entire team (assistants, a doctor, and a nanny) when they resigned within weeks
of each other. I’ll tell you all about the type of leader I was before they left, what I learned from
the experience, and how I’ve evolved as a leader since.

In this episode we’ll explore…

● How most leaders have a story that burned them and made them better.
● Why my entire team left me, and what I learned from it.
● When I realized I needed to step up and start doing things differently.
● What my leadership style used to be and why I still cringe a little looking back.
● What I had to grieve so that I could move forward from this experience.
● The importance of having supportive systems and processes for your team.
● How lowering the bar on myself lowered it for everyone else.
● How humbled I felt throughout this experience, especially when asking for help.
● The time it took to refine our internal structure and overall create a stronger business.
