Sustaining and Gaining Through Transitions

Seeing oneself and others through the emotional and psychological aspects of transitions is a core leadership skill. Because June is full of transitions– end of school, graduations, summer, mid-year reviews, role changes, and more – we invited Elicia Spearman to our last LeaderMom member webinar. Elicia, is an accomplished lawyer and HR professional, mom of a teen, and beloved spouse of a powerhouse, full-time-career husband. Her stories embody so many things essential for LeaderMoms to grow our careers while loving our families.  

• Being clear and brave about our value and potential as leaders – not settling, battling complacency.

• Being willing to engage in conversations about possibilities with headhunters and colleagues, who can help you to see your value and potential.

• Navigating the emotional discomfort of transitions.

• Making tradeoffs to align priorities with her family –

• Being amazing and human – Allowing moments of self-doubt and believing deeply in her wisdom and capacity.

Perhaps most important, Elicia strikes us as embodying two things critical to happiness – grounding herself in her signature strengths, deep expertise and tremendous capacity, while leaning into a challenge.
