Leading Without Losing Yourself

You can care deeply about your work and still feel worn down by being the person everyone turns to.

The difficult conversations. The decisions that follow you home. The feeling that if you stop holding everything together, something will fall apart.

Leadership deserves more support than “you’ll figure it out.”

Join Lisa Duez, LCSW, BCD, for a practical, 90-minute workshop designed to help mental health professionals lead with greater clarity, navigate everyday challenges, and support others without losing themselves in the process.

You support everyone else. What supports you?

Maybe you’ve built a practice, stepped into supervision, or become the person your colleagues naturally look to for guidance. Your responsibilities have grown—but the support for doing them hasn’t necessarily grown with you.

You might recognize yourself here:

• You’re confident in your clinical skills, but leading people brings challenges you weren’t trained for.

• You put off difficult conversations because you don’t want to damage relationships.

• You take over tasks because explaining or delegating feels harder.

• You know you need boundaries, but holding them can feel uncomfortable.

• You spend so much time responding to everyone else that your own priorities keep slipping.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to attend. Bring your questions and one leadership challenge you’d like to approach differently.

What you’ll take away

• Recognize what’s keeping you stuck

  • Identify a recurring leadership pattern that may be adding to your stress or keeping you overly involved in other people’s responsibilities.

• Explore THE EASE APPROACH™

  • Learn how Lisa’s leadership framework can help you respond to everyday challenges with greater awareness and intention.

• Put the learning to work

  • Use a guided reflection to apply what you learn to a current situation. Leave with one concrete action you can take in the week ahead.

*This workshop combines teaching, relatable examples, individual reflection, and time for questions. You’re welcome to participate without sharing anything personal.

Who is this for?

• This workshop is for professionals who lead, support, or guide others—or are preparing to step into that role. That includes practice owners, clinical directors, supervisors, team leads, and emerging leaders.

• You don’t need to own a business or hold a formal leadership title to benefit.
