Uncharted & Unfiltered: The Journey Back to You

Have you ever felt like a supporting character in your own life story? Our latest installment in the 12 Days of Christmas Leadership series is all about shifting from a passive bystander to an empowered author of your destiny. As leaders, it's all too easy for us to succumb to a victim mentality, but today I share with you my personal battle and breakthrough with cognitive behavioral therapy. We'll explore how to recognize the whisper of self-sabotage, take command of our circumstances, and rewrite the narrative that's been holding us back.
In this conversation, we're laying out a practical three-step roadmap to foster a growth mindset. From the initial acknowledgment of our inner victim to the robust step of taking ownership, and finally, the blossoming of a new perspective where challenges become adventures, this episode is a toolkit for anyone ready to step up their leadership game. Get ready to see the world in more vivid colors, as we leave behind the self-defeating stories and step into a new era of possibilities, with actionable advice and heartfelt insights to guide you on this journey of self-reclamation.

Send us a text

When I impulsively handed in my resignation at 24, I never imagined it would teach me one of the most valuable leadership lessons of my career. That moment of imperfection became a turning point, and now, during the holiday hustle, I'm sharing this wisdom on celebrating the perfectly imperfect. Our special holiday leadership series unfolds poignant personal anecdotes and the powerful insights of Brené Brown on vulnerability and resilience. We'll discuss how to create a culture that not only accepts but also celebrates the messy, the flawed, and the human side of our teams – just like the eclectic mix of ornaments on a Christmas tree.
This episode is an invitation to leaders, a challenge to host your own perfectly imperfect celebration. Imagine a space where team members can drop their guard and share laughs over the quirks that make each of us unique. I'll guide you through the subtleties of leveraging individuality for team strength and innovation, emphasizing that leadership is a journey with grace at its core, not the pursuit of flawlessness. Tune in as we join forces in breaking up with self-sabotage, and remember, embracing your journey includes all the twists, turns, and stumbles along the way.
