What if leadership didn't have to feel so heavy this year?

In this episode, I bring together our recent reflections on intention, vision, and what truly matters — and I tackle a belief that quietly holds many leaders back: the idea that investing in yourself is selfish or indulgent.

Leadership can be rewarding and meaningful, but it can also feel overwhelming, lonely, and uncertain. I share why leadership development isn't a luxury — it's a responsible, strategic leadership practice — and how investing in yourself creates a powerful ripple effect through your team, your organization, and beyond.

I also walk you through my Three Keys to Leadership Magic™ — character, confidence, and connection — and why these form the foundation for sustainable, human-centered leadership.

If you're ready to lead with more clarity, steadiness, and alignment, this episode is for you.

Enjoy!

It's a new year, and with it comes fresh energy, possibility, and a chance to lead with more clarity and intention. In this episode, I explore why leaders need a vision, not just goals—and how vision, intention, and your one guiding word work together to anchor your leadership.

This conversation isn't about productivity or pressure. It's about purpose, self-leadership, and becoming the leader you want to be in 2026. I share a simple four-question framework to help you clarify who you're becoming, how you want to feel, what you want to create, and what you want to experience—so your leadership feels grounded, human, and aligned.

✨ Vision gives you direction.
✨ Intention gives you energy.
✨ Your word keeps you anchored.

Let's ride the New Year wave with clarity, confidence, and a little leadership magic.

Enjoy!

As we close out 2025, I want to gently shift our focus forward — with intention. In this final episode of the year, I return to a practice I've been using for more than a decade: choosing one word as a guiding focus.

This isn't about perfection or rules. It's about clarity. I share why this practice still matters to me, how it evolves as we evolve, and how choosing a word can help you, especially as a leader, anchor your decisions, regulate your energy, and lead with greater intention.

We'll talk about how to choose your word, why there are no rules, and how that one word can create ripple effects — not just for you, but for your team, your organization, and the greater good.

As you begin to imagine 2026, my hope is that you let your word find you… and trust that you'll know when it arrives.

As we continue to talk through the end-of-year, I'm inviting you to do something that feels simple - but is actually strategic: pause. Before we jump into goal-setting for 2026, we need to create space to breathe, reset, and reconnect with what actually matters.

In this episode, I talk about why the pause isn't "soft" leadership - it's responsible leadership. When we slow down, we regain clarity, strengthen relationships, and lead from a grounded place instead of running on autopilot. I'll walk you through what "creating space" can look like mentally, emotionally, physically, and relationally - plus a few gentle questions to help you notice what's asking for your attention right now.

As we close out the year, it's so tempting to skip straight to the goals, the vision boards, and the shiny new planner… but if we don't pause to reflect, we often repeat the same patterns.

In this short episode, I'm kicking off a 3-part end-of-year series to help you reflect, reset, and step into 2026 with clarity and intention. We'll take a "look back" with curiosity (not judgment) and walk through powerful reflection prompts like: what went well, what surprised you, what challenged you, what you learned about yourself, what you want to let go of, and what you want to carry forward.

Because reflection isn't "woo woo" — it's leadership. It helps you lead grounded instead of reactive, build confidence from real evidence, and strengthen connection by reconnecting with yourself first.

In this episode, I'm flipping the feedback conversation and focusing on the receiver instead of the giver.

As leaders, we're constantly told how to deliver clear, meaningful feedback—but we're also on the receiving end from bosses, boards, peers, and our own teams. How we receive feedback is just as critical as how we give it.

I'll walk you through:

• Why feedback really matters for growth, confidence, and performance

• The five cornerstones of effective feedback (curiosity, mindset, cognitive bias, active listening, and communication preferences)

• Common barriers that get in the way of receiving feedback well

• How our emotions and communication styles (including Insights Discovery color energies) influence our reactions

• A simple mindset shift to move from self-protection to self-expansion using curiosity

You'll leave this episode with practical ways to stay grounded, open, and intentional when feedback finds you—whether it's in a formal review, a casual comment, or even an eye roll from your teenager. The magic isn't in getting feedback; it's in what you choose to do with it.

In this episode, I'm diving into something every leader experiences at some point: avoidance. Specifically, the hidden cost of avoiding the conversations you know you need to have. As we head into performance and review season, clarity, transparency, and alignment matter more than ever—and yet this is also the time when avoiding tough conversations sneaks in the most.

Avoidance is human. But as leaders, we're called to step toward the conversations our instincts want to step away from. I share why avoidance makes things worse, the impact it has on trust, performance, and team culture, and how you can approach these conversations with grounded clarity and confidence. This is leadership magic at work—human, honest, and deeply connected.

In this episode, I'm diving deep into a phrase I say all the time: leadership is human. I share a personal story from early in my career—one that shaped how I understand leadership, humanity, and the responsibility we hold when we lead others.

We explore why humans don't leave their lives at the door when they come to work, how real leadership must honor the whole person, and why awareness, compassion, and accountability all matter. This conversation is an invitation to look at your own leadership and ask: Where am I leading like a human…and where might I be armoring up?

Join me as we continue creating more clarity, confidence, and connection in how we show up for ourselves and one another.
