Today, on Notable Leaders’ Radio, I speak with Elizabeth Haggerty, EVP Customer Solutions, America’s Division, CRH. She highlights how navigating life’s and career pivots, unexpected business challenges, and a life-changing health diagnosis led her to discover untapped reserves of courage and resilience, offering real-life strategies to thrive through uncertainty and continual growth.

In today’s episode, we discuss:

Adopt the “one foot in, one foot out” approach. When considering a new role or industry, bring core skills you already have while stretching into new territory, so you’re growing without completely untethering yourself.

Let your setbacks refine, not define, you. When a business is sold, or a role ends abruptly, even through being fired, treat it as a painful but powerful pivot point, not a verdict on your worth or future potential.

Integrate joy and self-care into your life. Make space for passions, hobbies, and relationships outside of work. These experiences not only enhance your overall well-being but also give you energy and perspective to face professional challenges with renewed spirit.

Redefine your identity beyond job titles. Reflect on how external achievements and positions have shaped your sense of self. Shift your focus from titles to your skill sets, values, and unique contributions. This empowers you to navigate transitions and derive fulfillment from multiple aspects of life.

Release the need to do everything alone. Accept that asking for help is a sign of wisdom, not weakness. Rely on your team’s expertise and focus on asking insightful questions. This collaborative approach strengthens outcomes and develops your leadership.
