It can be lonely at the top… If you let it be. I get it. You’re the leader and you: Feel like you’re supposed to have the answers Don’t want to let your teammates down Want support outside the daily grind You used to be in the trenches talking about how “they” always mess everything…

Wow. What a time to be a leader. New headlines every day. High-level leaders being asked to move on. And those who remain?

Is that path you’re on meant for you? You’ve mastered your craft. You’re successful by all external measures. You’ve promoted to greater levels of responsibility. Yet, something still feels off. No matter how much external success you achieve, it never seems to be enough. Why do you think that is? I was honored to be…

The past few weeks have reinforced something powerful: No matter how much you’ve achieved. No matter how high up the chain you are. No matter how externally successful you’ve been.

Without that connection to a deeper purpose, it’s easy to get stuck on the achievement treadmill. You keep moving but never feel fulfilled.…

Always focused on the next peak? You’ll likely feel unfulfilled. Why? There’s always another summit. The constant chasing leaves you feeling: Burned out from the grind Dissatisfied even when achieving goals Disconnected from a deeper sense of purpose The question is: How do you learn to enjoy the climb? Here’s what I’ve found works: Start…

Leaders, are you falling into the “I’ve Always Won” trap? You’ve excelled at everything in your career. And because of that, you’ve earned: more opportunities more responsibility more people to lead And now, it’s piling up. The pressure is mounting. And instead of asking for help, you think: “I’ve always figured it out on my…

Why isn’t your team bringing you ALL the issues? Sure, they let you know when things are on track. But what about the bad stuff? How you consistently respond to news matters. It influences your team’s trust in you. Think back: Has someone ever brought you bad news? How did you handle it? Did you…

This year, my word is 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨. For those who know me, that’s not surprising. I’m transitioning out of the Navy after 22 years.
