🌱 After 6 years of trying to turn the Titanic at Nortel (spoiler: it sank), I learned something crucial: Traditional leadership approaches are like forcing plants to grow in artificial conditions. They might look good temporarily, but they don't work. If you're reading this, you're different. You want to be part of the solution, to foster genuine positivity. Not the fake "good vibes only" kind, but the deep-rooted kind that comes from authentic leadership. That's why I created Define Your True Self (DYTS). Think of it as preparing rich soil for your leadership and others' leadership to take root and flourish naturally. No more forcing growth through pure willpower or drowning in complexity. Our next DYTS cohort starts in February 2025. It's for leaders who are tired of toxic workplace cultures and ready to cultivate something healthier - starting with themselves.

"In every human, there is a sense that something infinite has been lost." This thought has profound implications for our personal and professional lives. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the boundless potential within ourselves and those around us. As leaders, it’s essential to create environments that inspire creativity, exploration, and growth. By encouraging our teams to pursue their passions and innovate, we can help reignite that sense of infinity and possibility. Let’s commit to fostering spaces where everyone can thrive and rediscover their unique contributions. Together, we can unlock the infinite potential that lies ahead. #Inspiration #PersonalGrowth #InfinitePotential #Leadership #Teamwork #Innovation #Creativity #Empowerment #GrowthMindset #Motivation

Be the wolf! In Abby Wambach’s “Be the Wolf” speech, she challenges traditional leadership and urges people to forge their own path by rejecting limitations. Her message resonates deeply with how we approach personal development—pushing boundaries and breaking free from societal norms. Leadership isn’t just about position; it’s about owning your unique power, lifting others, and becoming a force for change. If you’re ready to transform how you lead, let’s connect. Elevate your mindset. Create impact. Be the wolf. #Leadership #Authenticity #Growth #Empowerment #BeTheWolf #MindsetMatters

As we step into a new year, the world continues to change at a breakneck pace, and with it comes a golden opportunity for growth. Leadership today requires visionaries who can anticipate the future and the courage to leave behind what no longer serves us. It’s a time to align, connect, and passionately pursue progress, even when it feels uncomfortable. This year, ask yourself: What habits, mindsets, or practices will you let go of to thrive in this evolving world? The future belongs to those bold enough to embrace it. #employeeengagement #companyculture #keynotespeaker #organizationalculture #organizationalleadership

Leave Room for Kindness, Compassion, and Hope In our journey of leadership, kindness, compassion, and hope are often overlooked, sometimes even seen as weaknesses. Yet, the current state of our world shows us that the old ways of wielding power are no longer working. The pain and frustration we see and hear around us are clear indicators of this shift. I challenge everyone who follows my posts to pause and reflect. How do you lead with kindness and compassion? It all starts with ourselves. Ask yourself: How many kind words do you speak to yourself each day? How often do you show yourself compassion? Kindness and compassion are not just feel-good concepts; they are powerful tools that can transform leadership. Leaders who embrace these values create environments where people feel valued and understood. They build trust and loyalty, which foster innovation and resilience. This is a heartfelt call for change. Be the change you wish to see in the world. Lead with kindness, compassion, and hope. Together, let’s create a new paradigm of leadership that heals, connects, and uplifts us all. #Leadership #Kindness #Compassion #Hope #InclusiveLeadership #InnovativeLeadership #TransformativeLeadership #BeTheChange #LeadWithHeart #EmpathyInLeadership #ResilientLeadership

✨ Leadership Magic, Reimagined ✨ Behind every exceptional leader is a unique kind of magic. 🪄 It’s the intuition that knows when to say yes or no. 🌟 It’s the vision that imagines solutions no one else can see. 💡 It’s the compassion to support and inspire those around you. But how often do we leave these gifts on the sidelines, dismissed as “too emotional” or “not practical enough” for the workplace? In this week’s guest blog, @maggierosecunningham flips the script, showing us how reconnecting with these parts of ourselves — what she calls our magical self — is the key to transforming not only our leadership but our lives. It’s time to reclaim your magic. 💡 Read the blog now https://lnkd.in/e7MHRY9W #WomenInLeadership #AuthenticLeadership #SelfDiscovery #GrowthMindset @SOAR-Leadership

In a world that is constantly shifting, the essence of your leadership needs to evolve too. Leadership isn't just about leading people towards creating extraordinary things.  It's about helping people discover their individual extraordinary within themselves, bring that forward, and collectively as a team make what was impossible possible.  To do this we need to reframe our approach, to lead with authenticity, vulnerability, adaptability, and bold innovation.     Leadership in this new era isn’t just about decisions and directions, but fostering a culture of learning, clarity, and deeper connections. It’s co-creating with our teams, leveraging collective strengths, and making a significant impact on your society.     As we embrace the journey ahead, let’s remember that the path may not always be clear, but our conviction, competence, and commitment to connection can guide us through even the toughest of times.     #CSuiteMentor #Leadershipgrowth #Personalgrowth

Don’t Lose Sight of the Human Aspect We can often find ourselves consumed by processes and procedures. These frameworks are essential—they help us maintain consistency, measure results, and scale effectively. But there’s a pitfall we must avoid: becoming so focused on how things are done that we lose sight of who is doing them. Remember, the heartbeat of any organization is its people—living, breathing, emotional, and unique individuals. When we get too entrenched in the mechanics, we risk overlooking the incredible human progress and innovation happening right in front of us. Processes are crucial, but the people who bring them to life are irreplaceable. As leaders, it’s our responsibility not just to follow procedures but to truly see, hear, and value the contributions of our teams. Let’s celebrate the creativity, resilience, and uniqueness each person brings to the table. Because at the end of the day, people, not processes, are the real drivers of success. #Leadership #PeopleFirst #HumanSideOfLeadership #BusinessGrowth #Inspiration
