Leading as an HSP (without 3 AM overthinking)

Hello Sdfsdf, Do you struggle with leading a team as an HSP? Or worse, keep delaying hiring a team because you're afraid you won't be able to handle it? Leading a team as an HSP can feel overwhelming. You care deeply about your people, but that doesn't mean you have to carry their emotions or solve every problem yourself. With the right mindset and structure, leading a team as an HSP can feel natural, not draining. What's Happening with Heather Next Monday is my birthday, and in pure HSP fashion, I take this time of year to pause and reflect. It's remarkable to me how much I've grown since starting my self-employed journey in 2003. Though I was always aware of the old saying, "You take yourself wherever you go". Wow, did that truth hit me like a ton of bricks starting a business. That's why I like to say, "If you want a fast track to personal growth, start a business". An area that's provided me the most growth opportunity is decision-making as part of working with team members and needing to learn the difference between being a coach/mentor vs. being a team leader and how to know what "hat" to wear when and how so my team is both empowered while also staying on track in service to the Business Miracles Mission. One of my key tools to support this process is what I refer to as the "5 D's" (yes, 5D reference intended 😉) Keep reading to learn more about how these "Ds" can support you to lead with impact while also maintaining your well-being. Today's HSP Business Tip: Set yourself up for success by leading without losing sleep! Leadership as an HSP is deeply intuitive, but it can also tip us HSPs into over-responsibility. You care deeply about your team and their success, which can result in over-functioning and late-night overthinking (speaking from personal experience!) However, sustainable HSP business leadership isn't about doing it all—it's about leading with discernment and structure. By implementing the 5 Ds, you give yourself a framework to manage decisions effectively, reduce overwhelm, and protect your energy. The key is trusting that structure actually supports your intuition rather than stifling it. Discern - use your HSP Strength of Intuition to make an aligned decision regarding which of the below Ds will best serve the situation in the name of less effort and more impact Delegate - identify who else on the team is better suited for this task based on their personal strengths and truly give over to their input and approach  Delay - use your HSP Strength of Deep Thinking to identify roll another time that's more aligned for this task or project to be done based on all factors Delete - use specifically designed HSP tools to get clear that though this might have been something I thought was needed or wanted to happen, it's actually meant to be let go entirely Do It Differently - use your HSP Strength of Creativity to find a way for the task to be done more easily, efficiently, and effectively either for myself or the team as a whole Business Miracles Members Making An Impact: Brian, Highly Sensitive Leader, Head of Primary School + Breath Work Facilitator Listen to Brian share in this video how he is now able to experience more balance between work and home leadership and making an incredible impact as a result (plus, you might just want to let his beautiful Irish accent work wonders on your nervous system, too 🙂) Ready to step into leadership with less stress?
