Great leadership isn’t just about strategy, it’s about mastering the human side of business (and let’s be real, that’s where things get interesting).

Struggling with a big life or business decision?
How do you choose when every option feels risky and uncertain?
When you are at a crossroad, the fear of making the wrong move can be paralyzing.
You will discover how to break through the fear and move forward in the latest ChangeTalks podcast episode I was delighted to be a guest on. We discussed:
✅ The Regret Minimization and Fear Setting frameworks to help you decide when both options feel scary.
✅ How limiting beliefs (aka head hurricanes) are keeping you stuck — and how to break free.
✅ Why 95% of leaders think they’re self-aware, but only 10% actually are — and how not to live in a bubble.
✅ The hidden costs of conflict avoidance and how to give (and receive) honest feedback, even when people are scared to be honest.
In this episode, I share my own story of burnout, fear, and reinvention — walking away from the corporate world to build a career that actually fuels me.
If you’re standing at a crossroads, this conversation is your roadmap.

So, before you sprint into the new year or set your 2025 goals, ask yourself these 3 …
Dreamin’ of pumpkin pie… with a side of over-served uncle, closed-minded cousin, or over-involved in-law? Ahh the holidays. That time of year that brings so many of us together with ones we love… and ones we’re forced to love because of blood and marriage contracts. To keep the holidays magical and reduce as much frustration with others as possible, I’ve put together this EQ check list to keep your cool no matter who shows up …
