In this episode, Mark delves into the unspoken truth about being overwhelmed in the workplace. As we follow the preparation for a workshop on mastering overwhelm for a software company, we come to the realization that the inability to take on everything alone is a universal issue that needs to be addressed in today's fast-paced work environments.

Mark Silverman is an experienced leadership coach who has worked with numerous high-level executives and teams, helping them navigate the challenges of leadership in fast-paced environments. With over 30 years of experience and insights from 4400+ conversations on leadership and overwhelm, Mark provides valuable perspectives on thriving in demanding leadership roles.
