Here’s What’s Got Us Talking at Elevate(Her)

Hi Friend, 

Leadership is changing fast and the rules you learned even two years ago no longer apply.

As we look at what leaders need in 2026, research shows that organizations are investing in people more than ever. Nearly half of chief HR officers say leadership and manager development is a top priority for 2026. They also report that blending technology with human connection is essential for teams to adapt, grow, and thrive.

At the same time, workforce data highlights a major challenge: many managers feel the strain of expectations and emotional overload. Engagement among leaders has dropped to about 27 percent, while burnout and stress are increasing under pressure to perform.

These trends show us two things:

1.	Leadership is no longer just about strategy or results.

2.	It is about clarity, connection, and resilience in the face of change.

This month we’re focused on what matters most in leadership. The skills and mindsets that help you lead with confidence and well-being.

UpLeveling Your Leadership Skills

On April 15 at 1 pm ET, ElevateHer.Tech is hosting a free Leadership Workshop.  

Whether you are a manager, or an individual contributor, you can choose to lead right now.

Leadership is not about authority. It is about how you show up. It is about how you serve your team. It is about the impact you make every day.

That shift matters.

Human skills like empathy, resilience, and big picture thinking are rising faster than technical skills across industries. 

In this workshop, we’ll dive into what leadership can look like for you - at your own pace and in your own way. And we’ll share practical, down-to-earth tips you can use right away - whether you’re growing in your current role or navigating your next opportunity.

SAVE YOUR SPOT!

Resilience Without Burnout

Resilience is one of the top skills leaders need right now. The World Economic Forum continues to rank resilience and flexibility among the fastest growing skills across industries.

But many women in leadership are tired.

Burnout is real. In a recent report from McKinsey and LeanIn.Org, 1 in 3 women leaders said they felt burned out. Many shared that they feel pressure to always perform, especially during times of uncertainty.

That pressure adds up.

Resilience without clarity turns into survival mode. You push through. You say yes. You keep proving yourself. Over time, that quiet stress becomes career fatigue.

True resilience looks different.

It means you:

•	Know what matters most in your role

•	Set clear boundaries around your energy

•	Make decisions that align with your values

•	Pause before you react

Look at leaders like Jacinda Ardern. She openly spoke about the weight of leadership and ultimately chose to step down when she felt she could no longer give the role what it required. That decision reflected self awareness and clarity, not weakness.

Resilience is not about doing more. It is about knowing when to step forward and when to step back.

When you build resilience with alignment, you protect your energy and your long term growth.

A 10 Minute Leadership Reset

You don’t need a new job to lead differently. You need awareness.

Take 10 minutes today and answer this journal prompt:

Where am I performing from pressure instead of purpose?

Then ask yourself:

•	What expectations am I carrying that no one has clearly asked for?

•	What would change if I focused only on my top three priorities?

•	What boundary can I set this week to protect my energy?

Research from Gallup shows that employees who feel clear about what is expected of them are more engaged and less likely to burn out. Clarity reduces stress.

Start small. One boundary. One honest conversation. One aligned decision.

Resilience grows when you lead on purpose.
