How much time do you spend debating over who you should and shouldn't invite to your town hall meeting, workstream, or medical team meeting? There's always that fear of backlash if you don't ask a department or individual.

Timing is everything
Have you ever taken a personality type test for work? Several kinds of assessments include Myers-Briggs, Strengths-Finder, and the Enneagram. I’ve taken all of these and the Insights Discovery assessment, which shows I lead equally by fiery red and earth green. I’m known for driving for results and inclusivity. Being fiery-red, I stick to timelines and deadlines quite aggressively. However, I’ve discovered that if you slow down, pay attention, and listen to your inner wisdom on when to make your move, your actions become way more impactful. Tune in to learn how to know when to act and when to wait.

How to Prepare for Hybrid Work
Your employer is starting to expect you to come in a few days a week. It might even be reinforced somehow because the current request to come in is not working. Not feeling great about it?

Are you dreading it? Tune in to learn a few tips to help you make the transition more accessible to the hybrid work model.
Stop Comparing & Feeling Miserable
Do you ever feel jealous or envious when someone gets promoted, crowned the leader of a high-profile special project, or gets the green light to travel to an international conference- a first for your department? It’s easy to compare, feel jealous, and ask why them and not me. “It’s not fair” is the first thought that comes to mind. Learn what to do instead to lead from an authentic place of empowerment, which will get you farther than what you’re doing now.
Yes, It is a Choice
What kind of leader are you? Are you an authentically empowered leader or a fear-based leader? You may wonder what’s the difference. I’ve had my fair share of working with fear-based leaders, and it wasn’t fun. It creates stress, chaos, decreased productivity, and low morale in your organization. Tune in to learn the characteristics of both types of leaders and how you can choose to be one or the other. Yes, it is a choice.
