Estimated read time:  3–4 minutes There's a different kind of career frustration that does not get talked about enough. You're not lost. You're not burned out. You're not questioning whether you want to grow. You're just stuck. You know where you're headed. You've put in the work. You've gained experience, credibility, and skills. And yet, progress feels slower than it should. You might be asking yourself: Why does this still feel harder than it should? Why am I doing so muc

In toddler years, we’d just be learning to walk. In business years, we’re running ultra-marathons—literally. That feels about right for Harjo Leadership turning two.
