Kerry Siggins PodcastTurn Frustration Into Fuel: How to Create Change When You're Fed UpI've been frustrated a lot lately. Not in a vague, general way. The specific frustration of watching decisions get made far outside my control that land directly on my business, my team, my revenue.
What I've noticed is how easy it is to stay in that frustration. To vent about it. To find other people who are just as pissed off and talk about it together. And none of that changes anything.
At some point I started asking myself what I actually wanted to do with that energy. And what I found is that I've...

Kerry Siggins PodcastI Biked 200 Miles Through the Mountains - Here's What It Taught Me About LeadershipI just got back from seven days in the mountains of Southwest Colorado, 200 miles on a mountain bike. 30,000 feet of climbing, no cell service, no email. Just me, the trail, and a lot of time to think.
What I didn't expect was how much the ride would change how I see myself as a leader. Not because of some big revelation I planned to have. Because I crashed. Because I had to keep riding anyway. Because on a steep climb at elevation, the only thing that actually works is looking at the two feet of trail in...

Kerry Siggins PodcastWhat Great Leaders Do When There's No PlaybookMost leaders have been in one of these moments.
You've caught yourself thinking something you'd never say out loud. You've sat across from someone who was crying and had no idea what to do with that. You've kept giving someone more time because you cared about them. You've backed out of a commitment you'd already made, and felt guilty about it even though it was the right call.
These aren't the big, dramatic leadership failures. They're the quiet ones. The ones that happen in real time, with real people, when nobody's watching and there's no...

Kerry Siggins PodcastOverruled at Work? How to Lead When You Don't Get Your WayMost leaders have been in this situation. You made your case, you pushed back, and then the decision went another way. Now you've got a team looking at you trying to figure out what you think.
What happens next is where it gets hard. When you leave the meeting and find someone who agrees with you. When part of you is quietly hoping the decision fails so you can say you were right. When someone asks you directly and you say “well, I didn't agree with it, but that's what they decided”.
That moment is one...

Kerry Siggins PodcastWhen Does Giving Someone Another Chance Become a Failure of Leadership?Most leaders I know have someone on their team right now that they know is not working out.
I just went through this. And the reason I recorded this episode is because I think we talk about accountability in the abstract far more than we talk about what it actually feels like to sit with a decision you know you need to make but keep not making.
I cared about this person. I believed in them. I kept giving it more time. And while I was doing that, other people on my team were quietly...

Am I going to be okay?

Kerry Siggins PodcastWhy Your Team's CONFLICT Isn't About What You ThinkSomething I keep seeing in my company, in the situations leaders bring to me, and honestly in my own life, is that the argument on the surface is almost never the actual conflict. Someone gets left out of a meeting and suddenly they are furious. Someone's idea gets overruled and now there is tension that feels personal. Someone misses a commitment and now they cannot be trusted with anything.
None of those responses are really about the original event. They are about what the person decided the event meant.

Someone needs to be right. Not because the facts require it. Because something in their identity requires it.
I had an employee recently who was frustrated that he was not being heard. And the more I watched how he showed up in meetings, the more I could see that his need to be right was the very thing making people stop listening to him. He would...

Kerry Siggins PodcastWhat Happens When Leaders Get TriggeredKerry has been making high-stakes decisions and leading people through difficult situations for years. And even when she considers herself open to feedback and emotionally grounded, there are still moments when something hits a nerve and she can feel herself defending against things that have not even been said.
That moment happened the same day Kerry recorded this episode. And it became the starting point for a deeper conversation about what emotional intelligence actually looks like under pressure. Not as an abstract leadership concept, but in the seconds after something triggers you.

Kerry Siggins PodcastThe Leadership Mistake That Keeps People StuckIn her twenties, Kerry was struggling in a sales role when her manager sat her down and told her she was not getting in front of the right people. He asked her to come back with a plan. Her immediate reaction was: she already knew that was the problem. What she did not know was how to solve it.
Rather than asking questions, understanding what she had already tried, or offering support, her manager handed the problem back to her without helping her build the skills or confidence to work through it.
Already navigating a...

Kerry Siggins PodcastThe Biggest Lesson From Decades of Running a Company | Kerry SigginsKerry runs a company. People are constantly reading into things she does: a look she gives in a meeting, a question she asks, even her silence. And most of the time, what they conclude has nothing to do with what she was actually thinking.
Kerry has learned over many years of leading that the most damaging relationship problems inside an organization rarely start with bad intentions. They start with a story someone told themselves that nobody ever thought to check.

Kerry Siggins PodcastYour Team Isn’t Defensive. You’re Giving Feedback Wrong | Kerry SigginsMost leaders assume that when someone gets defensive during a feedback conversation, it means they cannot handle feedback. Kerry used to think that too.
Years of leading as a CEO have taught her that defensiveness almost always has the same cause. The person sitting across from you has just been handed a conclusion about their intentions instead of a description of what you actually experienced. Those are two very different things to receive.
Kerry is not sharing this as someone observing leadership from the outside. She runs a company and has these conversations every week...

We were there to talk about my son, about being an empath, about how he absorbs the feelings of everyone around him, about why that can feel isolating when the people closest to him don't experience the world the same way. And in the middle of that conversation, his therapist looked at us and said, "Your mom is the main character in her own life. That's the...

She woke up overwhelmed every day. There was a constant noise in her head: am I doing enough, how am I going to get it all done, what happens if I fall behind.

For most of that time, she thought that being the person who held everything together was evidence of great leadership.
What she eventually had to face is that it was not. Every problem she solved was one less chance for someone else to own their work. Every time she stepped in, she was teaching her team that ownership was optional. And the culture she...

Not the goals. Not the resolutions. Not the ambition. What caused the change was the moment she decided to raise a standard. The moment she said, this is how I am going to show up, not just this week or this month, but every single day, because this is who I am choosing to become.

She has fumbled it, blurted it out, and far more often, tiptoed around what really needed to be said because the discomfort of saying it felt harder than the cost of staying quiet. What she noticed, over years of leading people at Stone Age, is that the moments where she got it right had something in common. And the moments where she got it wrong did too.

Shane was wrestling with what that would teach him about integrity, and Kerry paused, because she has fought that exact question her entire life.

Burnout started to feel normal, and emotional distance crept in without her even realizing it.

In this episode of Reflect Forward, Kerry Siggins breaks down what this phrase actually means in practice and why so many leaders get it wrong. Many leaders believe they are being empathetic, but instead lower standards or project their own way of thinking onto others. Neither approach leads to effective leadership.
Meeting someone where they are is not about agreement or comfort. It is about accurately understanding their reality so they can be led forward without losing accountability.

It comes from living under an internal verdict. Not good enough. Not worthy. Not capable.

Expectations that people will call us back, take initiative, own things the way we would, or move at our pace. When those expectations are not met, we often experience irritation or disappointment without stopping to examine their origins or whether they were ever articulated.
In this episode of Reflect Forward, I unpack why psychology describes unspoken expectations as premeditated resentments and how confusing expectations with standards creates unnecessary strain in leadership.

It forces you to confront the gap between who you believe you are and how others actually experience you. Most leaders avoid that truth. The best ones run toward it.
As leaders rise, fewer people are willing to give honest feedback. According to organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich, 95 percent of people believe they are self-aware, but only 10 to 15 percent actually are. That gap is where most leadership breakdowns begin.

Control often stems from a fear of being judged, a fear of things going wrong, or a fear of losing influence. I used to believe that control equals competence. The more I managed outcomes, the more successful we would be. But what I eventually learned is that control does not create confidence; it kills it.

Justice and accountability are not the same. Justice is external; it’s about consequences and what happens to them. Accountability is internal; it’s about reclaiming your power, energy, and integrity, regardless of what they did.

Kerry Siggins PodcastBusyness Doesn’t Equal EffectivenessBusyness doesn’t equal effectiveness. In fact, the busier you are, the less effective you often become. In this episode of Reflect Forward, I tackle one of the biggest leadership lies: that a full calendar equals impact. It doesn’t. Busyness creates reactive leadership. Why? Because there’s no time for strategy, innovation, or even pausing to ask, “Is this the right move?”
Years ago, while running StoneAge, chairing a new economic development alliance, and preparing to become a mom, I hit the wall. Completely overwhelmed, I called my mom in tears. Her advice was simple: “Focus on what matters most and say...

Kerry Siggins PodcastPodcast_The Hidden Cost of Tolerating ‘Good Enough’Reflect Forward Podcast Kerry SigginsComplacency is the slow death of leadership. When we tolerate “good enough,” we quietly set the ceiling for our team’s potential—and our own.
When you say “good enough” is acceptable, you erode excellence. You send the message that mediocrity is tolerated, and that message ripples across culture, morale, and results. People disengage. Teams plateau. Opportunities slip away.
As Jim Collins reminds us: “Good is the enemy of great.” And Gallup’s research backs it up: only about 2 in 10 employees strongly agree that their performance is managed in a way that motivates them to do outstanding work. That’s what happens when le...

Kerry Siggins PodcastWhat the Best Leaders Do When No One Is WatchingWhat the best leaders do when no one is watching is what truly defines them. Leadership integrity isn’t built in front of a crowd; it’s forged in the quiet, unseen moments when no one is keeping score. The choices you make in private—whether to cut a corner, live your values, or own a mistake—are the foundation for building trust as a leader. When you consistently choose the harder right over the easier wrong, you strengthen self-trust, gain unshakable confidence, and set the tone for your entire culture. Leading with values in private is what makes people believe...
