"Burnout isn't the end of your leadership story. It's the doorway to an authentic one. Your leadership will be rooted in presence, not pressure; trust, not control." —Don Wood
Pressure looks normal when it has been there since the beginning. Many Christian leaders stay composed, dependable, and productive while quietly running on empty. Burnout does not show up as collapse. It shows up as numbness, control, and the belief that rest is unsafe.
In this episode, Don shares how growing up in instability shaped his leadership style and why many high-capacity men lead from survival without realizing it. Through recovery, faith, and experience with executives, he learned that exhaustion is often a signal that identity and trust need attention, not more effort.
Step into a healthier way forward and explore leadership rooted in presence, not pressure.
