To my fellow seasoned professionals: When did you begin to feel indifferent to the things that once ignited your passion, ultimately shaping the way others perceive you as a seasoned leader?

It’s interesting to reflect on that transition. For me, it started happening gradually as I gained more experience and faced various challenges in my career. Initially, the excitement of tackling new projects or facing high-stakes situations was palpable. However, over time, I learned to approach these moments with a different mindset—focusing more on the process and the lessons learned rather than the immediate thrill.
I’d say it was during a particularly challenging project where my team faced significant setbacks. While it was disheartening at first, I realized that maintaining composure and encouraging my team through difficulties was more valuable than the initial excitement of a successful launch. This shift not only helped me navigate tough situations more effectively but also instilled confidence in my colleagues, leading them to see me as a steady and seasoned leader.
Ultimately, I think that sense of calm comes from understanding that growth often happens in the face of adversity, and the real excitement lies in fostering that environment for both myself and my team. When did you notice that change in yourself?
