I used to believe that leadership was about titles. If I could just reach a certain position, then people would listen. Then I’d have influence. Then I’d matter. But I was wrong. Early in my life, I had a boss with the fanciest title but zero real leadership. No one truly respected him. No one… Continue reading The Position Myth
I once had a boss who knew everything about my job but nothing about me. No small talk, no “How’s your day?”, no real connection. And honestly? It made me feel like just another name on a list. Then I worked with a leader who was different. She asked about my family. Remembered a few… Continue reading Take an Interest in People
I once thought success was about getting more…more time, more freedom, more rewards. But then I learned a hard truth: Real success requires sacrifice. Think about it every great leader, every high achiever, every person who has made it had to give up something to go up. Time. Comfort. Short-term wins for long-term impact. I… Continue reading The Law of Sacrifice
Early in my life, I worked with a team where everyone had to do a little bit of everything. It sounded great in theory everyone was versatile! But in reality? It was a mess. The creative people struggled with analytics. The detail-oriented ones felt drained by brainstorming sessions. No one was thriving because we were… Continue reading People Add the Most Value in Their Strength Zones
For so many years, I honestly thought that success was a solo journey. Hustle hard, grind even more, push through do it on your own. But then I hit a wall. I had the drive, the goals, the work ethic… but I was stuck. Then, I did something uncomfortable: I reached out for help. I… Continue reading Link Up with Others
There was a time when I thought trust had to be earned the hard way slowly, cautiously, after proving yourself over and over. But then I worked with a leader who flipped that idea upside down. From day one, she trusted me. Not because I had done anything special, but because that’s just how she… Continue reading Trust Me on This…
A while ago, I ran into an old colleague I hadn’t seen in years. The first thing that popped into my mind? A huge mistake they made on a project we worked on together. It wasn’t career-ending, but it was frustrating at the time. Then, as we talked, they reminded me of all the good… Continue reading Remember Their Good Days, Not the Bad Ones…
When I first started in leadership, I focused more on results than relationships. I believed that if the job got done, everything else would fall into place. But one day, a mentor challenged me: “How do you make people feel?” That question hit me hard. I had no idea. Then, I came across John Maxwell’s… Continue reading Give People the Triple A-Treatment…
I know it’s been a hot minute since my last post two days off and suddenly it feels like two weeks. I’ve been knee-deep in cooking (and not just any cooking, but literal, heart-and-soul, food-for-my-customers cooking) and living out my culinary business dreams.💃💃💃 Amid all this culinary chaos, I managed to squeeze in some reading… Continue reading Even I Can’t Do It Alone…
Today, I came across something in the book I was reading. You know, one of those moments where you’re flipping through pages, half-distracted, and suddenly – BAM – a line hits you like a frying pan to the face. The kind that makes you pause and think, “Okay, why is this book exposing my life… Continue reading When Life Throws Chaos, How You Respond is Your Choice…
