Why can't someone else step up and do this?
How come I'm always the one who has to do everything?
What more do I have to do before someone finally takes some initiative?
If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions—or just quietly felt them—you’re not alone. That heavy sense of responsibility, the emotional and cultural weight of having to carry your team day after day, will wear you down. And if you don’t have a plan to offload that burden and bring others into ownership, it’s only a matter of time before burnout sets in.
But what do you do when some team members aren’t exactly charismatic—or worse, seem like they’re only halfway committed?
This episode hits close to home, pulled straight from a challenge one of our mentoring clients has been facing for years. It’s also something Brett knows firsthand.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
You Do Everything for Everyone. It’s Time to Reset.
This September, we’re hosting a retreat in Phoenix, AZ—built for those who carry it all. Ten years in the making, this event is designed to give you tools to slow down, recalibrate, and breathe again.
We're teaming up with professionals like Taylor Somerville and Lauren Vestal to introduce breathwork, recovery strategies, and techniques to help you downregulate and bring some peace back into your day-to-day life. You’ll also get space to move, connect, and troubleshoot how to have the tough conversations you've been avoiding—so you can show up for yourself as much as you do for everyone else.
Stay tuned at artofcoaching.com/events and email us at info@artofcoaching.com for more details.
Upcoming Live Events:
There’s never been a better time to invest in skills that don’t have a shelf life. Our live events are built to help you think, speak, and lead more effectively under pressure, in any environment. These aren’t lectures. They’re hands-on, challenging experiences with an immeasurable return on investment. We offer three different payment plans and want to meet you where you’re at. If you have questions or want help finding the best fit, reach out to us anytime at info@artofcoaching.com.
The Apprenticeship If you're tired of struggling through hard conversations or avoiding them altogether, this is your chance to train for them. We’ll put you in realistic role-play scenarios and teach you the frameworks that help you navigate conflict, power dynamics, and tough personalities. No fluff. No gurus. Just pressure-tested strategies you can actually use.
