Susan Lucia Annunzio’s Post

Ever feel like you’ve reached your goals, only to find yourself feeling... stuck? 🤔 You’ve built the business, earned the promotion, or achieved the success you worked so hard for, but something feels off. The comfort you thought would make you happy is now leaving you empty, like you’re missing the spark that used to drive you. 🔥 In my latest blog post, I explore why comfort without purpose can be suffocating and why many leaders lose their edge when they stop striving. I also share the story of Jane, who climbed to senior leadership only to find herself disconnected from what she once loved about her work. It’s time to get back in the hunt, take on meaningful challenges, and find that edge again! 💪 👉 Read the full post here [https://loom.ly/h7Be_gk] and discover how to reignite your passion and purpose.

Moving Your Home ...Uplevels You as a Leader. While I am helping my sister move today, and feeling physically beat up and exhausted in general (bad hip will do that do that! 😃)...I took a moment to reflect on the whole ordeal. I took a call from one of my 1:1 clients in the middle of it to work through a major issue they were having. I have good boundaries for work vs non-work time, but I will always show up for my clients who also show up to do their work, so a Saturday call was needed. Walking back into the house to get more boxes, I had a revelation. Helping someone move into a new home is much like guiding them to a new level of leadership. In both, there’s a process of emptying—letting go of what no longer serves us. As we pack up, we purge the old, outdated things that no longer fit our new environment or purpose. We make space, clearing out clutter to start fresh. But just like in moving, we don’t abandon everything. We bring the essentials—our remaining furniture, the items that still hold value. In leadership, this might be our wisdom, strengths, and hard-earned experiences. The process of upleveling is about creating space for new growth while honoring what we’ve already built. Just as a new home offers a fresh start with familiar comforts, stepping into a higher level of leadership invites us to embrace change, start anew, and carry forward what truly matters. In both, the outcome is transformative. A new beginning, but with a foundation to stand on. Fruit for thought on this Saturday!

Making big work / life decisions. When we feel pulled to change - change our role, our employer, the city where we live, our nutrition and exercise plan... it can be challenging to commit. We are tempted to wait for a guarantee that the decision we plan to make is "right". This is another version of perfectionism or fear of making a wrong or sub-optimal choice. It keeps us frozen, treading water, and ultimately fighting the reality we are in. It doesn't feel great and that shows up in our performance and satisfaction. There is an inauthenticity that has us internally conflicted. This can weigh heavier than the consequences of making a decision that is less than perfect. And it can come out in unhealthy ways as we lash out from not staying true to ourselves. This client was thoughtful and prayerful in considering moving. She took one step forward towards the move, and then another, until it became evident. Action brought clarity. At each step she reflected on her motives for the change, and checked in to be sure she was running towards something rather than running away from something. This ensured that the move wasn't subconsciously being seen as a silver bullet - a shift of a single variable or circumstance believed to address all challenges in her current situation. We discussed the potential scenarios and reasons for a change so that she felt clearheaded and rational when making the decision, keeping biases and some of our self-sabotage mindsets at bay. As leaders, we lead in the office and at home. Our decisions impact our businesses, teams, families, and communities. They have the potential for tremendous positive impact. Coaching can give you the tools to make decisions that you love, effectively and timely. May these real-life victories of real-life people (like you and me) inspire you to create these wins in your own career and life.

Some days, it feels like all you do is put out fires—over and over again. Yesterday was one of those days. By the end, I was exhausted, falling behind on a project I’m passionate about, for a client I truly respect. And I knew more fires would be waiting for me today. Reflecting on it last night, I realized I needed to give myself the advice I’d offer anyone else in this position: 1. Focus on one meaningful task. When everything feels urgent, start with one task that truly matters, not just what’s screaming the loudest. Even a small win here can make a big difference. 2. Set a boundary. Define a time you’ll walk away for the day, no matter what. Burnout doesn’t just slow us down; it clouds our judgment and our creativity. 3. Remember that setbacks don’t define you. We all have these tough days. But the real difference comes in how we keep showing up, day after day. Today, I’m going in with a clearer mind, a bit more perspective, and a plan to focus on what matters most. If you’re also tackling a mountain of fires, hang in there. We’re in this together. #Leadership #GrowthMindset #Resilience #PersonalDevelopment #ArchitectLife

The Power of Letting Go In our daily lives, we often carry unnecessary weight—past mistakes, unfulfilled expectations, toxic relationships, or old job roles. Holding onto these burdens can prevent us from moving forward and achieving our true potential. Consider decluttering your home. By letting go of items that no longer serve you, you create space for what truly matters. The same principle applies to our personal and professional lives. I've faced many encounters where I had to choose between comfort and struggle, dependency and independence, emotional barriers and logical thinking, relationships and practicality, and many more binaries of life. Letting go allowed me to grow and achieve more than I imagined. In leadership, letting go of outdated strategies, ineffective team members, or failed projects is crucial for growth. It’s about making room for better things and trusting that the future holds new opportunities. Reflect on what you're holding onto and why. Letting go lightens your load and opens up new possibilities. #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #LettingGo #ForwardThinking #Inspiration #LifeLessons #CareerDevelopment
