I worked with Alison, implementing the acceptance and commitment approach outlined in Drop the Struggle in relation to my leadership career. The Yellow Tail Moth story is particularly poignant. When I accepted the journey and my own vulnerability as a leader, I progressed quickly into my current chief of staff role with an ease and confidence I had never felt before. I now have a huge toolkit of strategies for when I get knocked off course as I no doubt will in the future. The impact of this approach on my leadership journey has been immeasurable.
