138 | 3 Ways to Go From People Pleasing to People Leading
Description
If you’ve ever found yourself saying “yes” when you wanted to say “no,” avoiding conflict, or shrinking back to keep the peace, this episode will help you step out of people pleasing and into calm, confident, Christlike leadership.
I'll break down:
why people pleasing is rooted in fear (not kindness)
how it weakens your authority, voice, and leadership impact
simple shifts to help you lead with clarity instead of over-accommodating
what Jesus modeled about boundaries, conviction, and courage
Reflection Questions
Ask yourself:
What’s my responsibility here?
What’s theirs?
What honours God in this situation?
What needs clarity?
What needs courage?
These questions re-centre your leadership — and your peace.
