The first 90 days of a new role are full of energy, excitement, and big plans—but what happens when the honeymoon phase ends? In this episode, we explore why many leaders struggle after the initial momentum fades and how to avoid common pitfalls like burnout, boredom, and overwhelm. We’ll share strategies to maintain your impact, adjust your approach, and build a sustainable leadership style that lasts well beyond day 90.

In this episode, we discuss the following:
1. Why leaders often struggle after the first 90 days and how to avoid common mistakes.
