About Jane Benston

Successfully transitioning from middle management to senior leadership can be challenging. The mistake I see many mid-career professional women making is thinking that the way to make that transition is… to work harder and do more. Even though most already have a jam packed schedule and may even be putting work ahead of their health and their relationships with loved ones. But I get it. Over the years we’ve been told that success comes to those who work hard. Your strong work ethic, getting the job done and doing it well, was probably what got you to where you are today. Your reputation for being helpful, reliable and dependable is possibly the reason why you were offered some fabulous opportunities over the years. But now… the brutal truth is that working harder and doing more is more likely to lead to burnout than respect, recognition or an amazing job offer. So, you may be wondering… if working harder isn’t the answer… what is? It starts with LETTING GO and DOING LESS of the day to day busy work…. And making space to LEAD MORE. At this level of leadership you are employed to think strategically, solve the big problems, deliver projects and build high performing teams. All of which wont get done (without working late nights and weekends) when you are busy stuck in the weeds of the day to day. Since 2011 I’ve worked with hundreds of mid-career women, helping them to work 5 – 10 hours less per week while increasing their leadership impact and job satisfaction.
