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.

Enjoy!

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.

In this week's episode, I share why self-awareness is the foundation of sustainable leadership—the "pixie dust" that gives your skills something solid to stand on.

I walk through five pillars of self-awareness (who you are, your values, your why, your future self, and your brain/beliefs), how to spot the "cracks in the foundation" like burnout or miscommunication, and the role of community as your support beams.

This short and practical conversation will help you strengthen the ground you're standing on so your leadership can weather any storm.

In this episode, I share a surprising shift in my own Insights Discovery profile - and what it reveals about real, lasting growth. After years of sitting in "Coordinating Supporter" (Type 31), my 2025 profile moved to "Helping Supporter" (Type 30): still Earth Green at the core, but with more Sunshine Yellow and a softer Cool Blue.

I unpack what changed (and why), how self-awareness evolves, and practical ways to dial up or dial down your color energies to create leadership magic.

We revisit the four color energies, the power of conscious vs. less conscious preferences, and why revisiting your profile every 18–24 months can be a game-changer for clarity, confidence, and connection on your team.

If you've ever set great intentions only to find yourself drifting, this conversation will help you refocus, recharge, and recommit to what matters most.
