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 I recognize outdated beliefs still exist externally, but the stories we tell ourselves—the beliefs we hold about our capabilities, potential, and worth—are even more powerful.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 Leadership

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. When you lead from a place of authenticity, you cultivate trust, inspire innovation, and create a legacy that lasts. Yet, too many leaders struggle with showing up as their true selves, fearing vulnerability, failure, judgement, or resistance. The truth? Authenticity is your greatest…

A Long Holiday Weekend

This weekend, summer unofficially arises from the cold earth and skiing and already the rush is on. Boats in the water this weekend, cookouts planned, tourists on the highway heading to Cape Cod and/or Rhode Island beaches and life is coming back to the “normal” of summer traffic on the highway.
