As a psychotherapist and thought leader, Louis Laves-Webb, LCSW, LPC-S, was recently featured in CEO Official Magazine’s “The Impact of Self-Care on Leadership: 15 Insights from CEOs and Senior Leaders.”

In his contribution, Louis Laves-Webb, LCSW, LPC-S offers a thoughtful reminder that real self-care begins long before burnout.

He explains that while many leaders turn to quick fixes or self-soothing behaviors once they’re depleted, true self-care is proactive—a conscious choice to maintain energy, balance, and emotional bandwidth before reaching that breaking point.

Leadership demands empathy, creativity, and vision. And each of these qualities flourishes when we nurture our own well-being first.
