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. (26 if you count the Naval Academy) And transitions come in all shapes and sizes: Changing careers entirely Stepping into greater responsibility Relocating your family to a new community Here’s one thing…

What story are you living today? The stories you tell yourself shape your actions. And sometimes, those stories hold you back. They keep you stuck, even when you dream of something bigger.

You keep feeling that tug… That urge to explore something more. Those nudges aren’t random. They stem from your Blueprint. They’re pointing you toward something deeper. All you need to do is clear the gunk. The… doubts assumptions expectations …preventing clarity. Break from the golden path fallacy and start exploring. Uncover your Blueprint. Align your…

You’re preparing for a career transition, and it feels like everything is on the line. Whether it’s… a new company role within the company something entirely different …it’s about more than answering questions. It’s about having the self-awareness to articulate: What energizes you How you align with the opportunity What you uniquely bring to the…

Carving your own path isn’t just okay—it’s courageous. It means you’ve done the hard work: Gaining clarity of purpose Examining your current path Aligning your actions accordingly Copy and pasting someone else’s path is tempting. Their success is inspiring, and the path they took seems like a proven formula. But it doesn’t work long term.…

You’re reading tons of books, looking for answers. But reading alone won’t cut it. I first read Start With Why in 2015. I loved it. It sparked deep reflection. But reflection alone only took me so far. It wasn’t until I hired a coach that things truly clicked. Six months with a coach gave me…

You’re feeling the pressure, aren’t you? The traditional, top-down leadership style that got you here doesn’t seem to be cutting it anymore.

It means you need to define it for yourself. What does leading with integrity mean to you? What would it be like…

The best leaders I’ve ever worked with share this trait: Humility. It’s underrated and foundational to the learning leader. When leaders are humble: They’re confident They’re open to learning and growing They don’t pretend to have all the answers They’re willing to admit what they don’t know And that’s powerful.
