What became obvious, quickly, was that leadership can be defined in any number of ways, depending upon background, leadership experience, and, surprisingly, a person’s willingness to own his or her own power and authority. I was surprised to learn that most respondents considered leadership, authority, and power…

Aligning Your Purpose With Your Leadership Style

As one who works primarily with leaders in transition, we frequently stand at the crossroads of change and continuity. Their resounding call for their purpose-driven leadership is front and center. Their new chapter, full of unknowns and opportunities, requires a leader who is guided not just by vision and expertise, but by a deep-seated purpose. I believe, however, that this…

Leading with Peace, Freedom, and Intention

In the exhausting and demanding world of executive leadership, embodying the principles of peace, freedom, and intention is not merely idealistic—it’s strategic and transformative. For many, these may feel contradictory or unrealistic, nonetheless they are requisites for effective leadership.

Rewriting The Stories That Limit You

Practical Strategies for Identifying and Overcoming Beliefs That Impact Leadership Within leadership, the most significant barriers to growth often come from within. I recognize outdated beliefs still exist externally, but the stories we tell ourselves—the beliefs we hold about our capabilities, potential, and worth—are even more powerful. They can propel us forward or hold us back. The internal narratives about…

Why Authenticity is the Foundation of Transformational Leadership

Authenticity isn’t just a buzzword (although it has been over-used lately), it’s the foundation of transformational leadership.

The Risk of Growth and Moving On

"You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water" ~Rabindranath Tagore Years ago I developed a Leadership Self-Assessment Tool. It addresses the 5 styles of leadership I have seen over the past 30 years.

The Many Sides of Vulnerability

Even with the many books, articles, podcasts, and Ted talks, concerning vulnerability, for so many it is still seen as a fragile time, if not a weakness, to be hidden or protected from so that the “enemy” doesn’t jump when you are most incapable of protecting yourself.
