Leadership MagicEP211: Confidence - Leading With Self-TrustConfidence is one of the most misunderstood parts of leadership - but in this episode, I'm reframing it. In this episode, we talk about confidence not as certainty, performance, or personality, but as self-trust. This is the second key in the three keys to leadership magic: character, confidence, and connection. And confidence is the bridge between who you are on the inside and how others experience you as a leader. We explore why confidence isn't about having all the answers, how emotional regulation plays a role in self-trust, and what confident leadership actually looks like d...
2026-01-2616 minLeadership MagicEP210: Character - The Foundation of Leadership MagicLeadership magic doesn't start with skills or strategies — it starts with character. In this episode, I begin a deeper exploration of the three keys to leadership magic by focusing on where leadership truly begins: self-awareness. Character isn't about being good or bad. It's about understanding who you are, what drives you, and how you show up — especially under pressure. When leaders build awareness of their triggers, patterns, and stress responses, they gain choice. And that choice is what allows leadership to be intentional, grounded, and trustworthy. In this episode, I explore how character beco...
2026-01-1912 minLeadership MagicEP209: What If Leadership Could Feel Different This Year?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 a...
2026-01-1213 minLeadership MagicEP208: Why Leaders Need a Vision (Not Just Goals)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 ex...
2026-01-0514 minLeadership MagicEP207: One Word That Will Shape Your Leadership in 2026As 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 wor...
2025-12-2917 minLeadership MagicEP206: The Power of the Pause - Creating Space as a LeaderAs 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 f...
2025-12-2211 minLeadership MagicEP205: The Lookback - What 2025 Taught YouAs 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 wh...
2025-12-1516 minLeadership MagicEP204: Receiving Feedback WellIn 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 th...
2025-12-0825 minLeadership MagicEP203: The Cost of Avoidance in LeadershipIn 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 ho...

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 wher...

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 r...

When we refocus on the controllables, we reclaim clarity, confidence, and connection—the keys to leadership magic. Enjoy!

2025-09-2216 minLeadership MagicEP192: Skillset vs. Mindset: The Real Key to Lasting Leadership GrowthIn this episode, I'm diving into one of the biggest truths I've learned over nearly 30 years in leadership and human resources: skills alone aren't enough. You can learn every model, framework, or productivity hack out there, but if your mindset doesn't shift underneath, the behavior won't stick. I share real-world examples - from health goals to communication breakdowns, delegation struggles, and presentation nerves - to show the difference between a quick fix and true transformation. We'll also talk about the root causes that drive behavior, how limiting beliefs hold us back, and how pairing skillset with mindset...

In this episode, I share some fun (and maybe surprising) connections between Disney's tale as old as time and the way we lead. From Insights Discovery color energies reflected in characters like Cogsworth, Lumiere, Belle, and the Beast… to the reminder that leadership isn't about being the loudest voice in the room… to the power of curiosity, beliefs, and c...

You'll leave with a simple approach to steady your energy, anchor in your why, and speak from your values—not just for yourself, but for those who need to hear it.

It was sparked by a thoughtful LinkedIn post from Vanessa Forslev, and it's a question many of us ask - especially during times of chaos, uncertainty, or overwhelm. I talk about the very real pull to veer off course - even when the course still aligns with your purpose - and why it's so important to stay grounded in your "why."
