The most underrated leadership skill? Listening.
When leaders make space for every voice, trust grows, ideas surface, and teams thrive.

Sometimes the best leadership isn’t about saying more—it’s about listening better.

Leadership today is about managing constant change.

With AI reshaping industries at lightning speed, leaders must pivot quickly while keeping their teams grounded.

How are you helping your team stay adaptable?

Ever have one of those days where nothing goes right?

The old way: shrug it off, stick to routines, wait for the annual review.
The better way: notice the signals, stay curious, try small shifts, check in often.

Bad days aren’t setbacks—they’re invitations to grow.

Listening to truly understand someone else's perspective is a skill we all need to master. Curiosity through questioning helps teach us empathy and makes all sides feel seen!

Thinking about a career change?

Job shadowing is one of the most underrated tools out there. Before you leap—go take a look.
Sometimes clarity comes from stepping into the role, even for a day.

As leaders, are we really listening?
Or are we too quick to solve without asking the right questions first?

On a recent exec call, two team members shared totally different—but equally passionate—ideas. For a second, I thought, “Uh oh, conflict?”

But it wasn’t. It was collaboration.

Too often we confuse healthy debate with tension. But disagreement isn’t dysfunction—it’s a sign people care.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Radical Candor is what happens when you put “Care Personally” and “Challenge Directly” together. It builds trust... and results.

How do you balance care + challenge in your own work? Let us know! 🧡

“Have empathy!” gets thrown around a lot at work. But real empathy starts with doing the hard work on yourself first. Understand your own reactions—then you can begin to understand others. #Leadership #Empathy #SelfAwareness

New leaders often feel pressure to prove themselves: “I have the answers. I earned this.”
But leadership isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about coaching others to grow.
It’s not instinct. It’s a skill.
And it’s one that gets stronger with support.

If you're always busy, solving problems, and putting out fires... it might be time to shift from firefighting to empowering.
Leaders who coach, mentor, and focus on long-term growth don’t just survive the chaos—they rise above it.

In my CARE to Lead® workshops, we start with silent reflection—so every voice has space to think before we speak. Creating room for quieter perspectives isn’t optional. It’s leadership.

Resilience is not resistance to suffering. It’s the capacity to bend without breaking.

Strength doesn’t come from ignoring pain. It stems from knowing that your past self has hurt and your future self will heal.

Fortitude is the presence of resolve, not the absence of hardship.

If your culture doesn’t embrace change, AI won’t save you.
In every coaching call lately, I’m asking: What are we doing to embrace the AI revolution?
Let’s lead the change—not get left behind.

Have you ever heard a child loudly declare, "I'm fine!" but you can tell they're NOT fine? It's not just kids; we adults do it too, especially at work. 🙄 #ItsFine #WorkLife

Everyone's on board. The plan is solid. That’s when I ask my C-suite clients to pause and shift:
🪑 “What would the board think?”
Changing rooms = changing perspectives.
Strategic leadership starts with seeing the full picture.

As parents, we let our kids fail so they can grow.
As leaders, we should do the same.

Growth comes from experience—especially the hard ones.

Let your team try, fail, learn, and rise.
That’s real leadership.

Early on, I dodged feedback as if it were a sport. One tough review changed that.

I stopped seeing feedback as a threat and started seeing it as my roadmap.

If you're avoiding feedback, you might be running from the very thing that could help you grow.

One of the most powerful leadership tools? A question.

👉 “Could I be wrong?”

Leading with vulnerability and curiosity builds trust and creates space for real growth.

You delivered the feedback.
But did it land?

Feedback isn’t complete until it’s heard, understood, and helpful.

A mark of wisdom is being quick to change your opinions but slow to change your principles.

It takes openness to update your views. It takes integrity to uphold your values.

A key to growth is raising your understanding without lowering your standards.

An effective meeting isn’t about filling time—it’s about respecting it.

Clear goals, focused conversations, and mindful pacing aren’t extras—they’re essentials.
Which of these four do you think gets overlooked the most?
