ABOUT THIS EPISODE
You don’t lose yourself overnight when you become a leader—you lose the version of you that used to know exactly where you stood. And no one tells you what replaces it. What if the real challenge isn’t leading others… but not recognising yourself in the process?
Alicia Rius is a former co-founder and COO, ICF-certified leadership coach, and author of Lead With Clarity: How New Managers Turn Confusion into Confident Leadership. She helps new managers, founders, and executive teams fix the clarity gaps that quietly undermine performance during growth. Alicia believes leaders don’t fail from a lack of talent — they fail from a lack of clarity around identity, purpose, and execution.
