Plus, one simple shift to carry into the rest of 2025.
Hi friends.
As we head into Thanksgiving week, I've been thinking about all the leaders I've advised and supported this year.
And honestly?
I'm grateful.Deeply grateful.
Because there’s a different kind of leadership rising right now, stead...
Hi friend,
I'm late getting this newsletter out. Usually it hits your inbox first thing every other Sunday morning but I rewrote it several times. I edited it, messed up the formatting, Jenn helped me fix it, and I still found myself changing it again.
Why?Because this message matters.And I wa...
The best leaders I know aren’t perfect — they’re perceptive.They notice what’s off before it spirals.
I call those early signals silent leaks.They’re easy to overlook but they’re expensive.
They don’t start as crises.They start as habits and systems that once worked but no longer do.And if you do...
As leaders, we make decisions every day but every once in a while, one of them hits differently.
It's the kind that carries both risk and reward. It asks not just what you'll gain, but who you'll become because of it.
I call those high-stakes decisions. They can change the course of your busine...
As modern leaders, we’re carrying a lot—big missions, fast-changing demands, teams relying on us—all while wanting to enjoy the lives we’ve worked so hard to build.
The danger? Waiting for “someday” to really live.
That’s been on my mind since last newsletter when I shared why this is the age of ...
When I walked into the AI-Powered Women Conference at MIT last week - a space where both women and men were welcomed - I felt two things at once: curiosity… and the tug of “there’s so much to know, where do I even start?”
New tools seem to come out by the minute, with talk of agents and the best ...
September always feels like a reset button for me.
I’m loving the cool, crisp mornings, the steam rising off the lake, and yes — the start of football season (I love the game, the spirit, and of course, the food!). There’s also the seasonal reset… swapping out summer layers for fall, making small...
If I’m honest, I used to roll my eyes at this skill.
It felt fake, like politicking, campaigning, or trying to be the “teacher’s pet.”
For years, I believed results alone should speak for themselves. Just do your job, deliver, follow through, and be a good human.
And for a long time, that worked....
The leaders who thrive in today’s fast-paced world aren’t just reacting to what’s in front of them—they’re seeing around corners.
And here’s the part that doesn’t get talked about enough: you can’t see ahead without energy.
It’s the single biggest differentiator between leaders who stay ahead and...
Let’s be honest, it feels good to be needed.Am I right?
The texts, the quick calls, the “can you take a look at this?” moments… they make us feel important. Like we matter. Like we’re adding value.
So when that slows down—when your phone gets quieter, when people stop coming to you for every answ...
You don’t have to carry the weight alone.
Here's how to lead with clarity, calm, and a stronger team.
Last time, we talked about the fine line between being liked and being respected.
That moment when things start to shift - your team doesn’t show up the same way, the weight feels heavier, and d...
If they're not showing up for you like they used to, this might be the shift you need to make.
The Fine Line Between Being Liked and Being Respected
What happens when the people you lead don't show up for you the way they used to?
This comes up all the time - especially with business owners and ...
