As you come in, take a breath.
Deep or shallow, doesn’t matter. Just notice: You’re breathing.
Extend your exhale. Slow it down. Follow it to the end.
Ok, let's dig in.
You are navigating an increasingly volatile and uncertain world.
Rapidly emerging technology, geopolitical shifts and market instability
complicate your mission to inspire others, build teams and lead change.
Today's complex challenges don't just cause stress,
they activate your oldest survival strategies.
Do you find yourself micromanaging when stakes are high?
Quieting your own voice to appease others or keep the peace?
Being overly critical of others—and yourself—when things go wrong?
We call these reactive patterns. They kept you safe in the past,
and now they're part of your default mode, your autopilot.
But now they're standing in the way of your success—
holding you back from being the leader you really are
and creating the impact you're meant to have.
When we're reacting, we are not leading change.
We end up maintaining what is, rather than creating what could be.
If you are ready to lead powerfully and with greater ease, keep reading...
It's scary to do things differently. To trust more than control. To speak up instead of play it safe. To embrace uncertainty when everything in us wants to grab the wheel tighter.
And yet that's exactly what leadership asks of us today.
That's why I've created this space, where leaders like you shift from reacting to creating.
From fear to possibility. From trying to control everything to shaping what matters most.
Simple, powerful practices that weave seamlessly into your week.
Monthly mini-retreats that deepen your leadership from the inside out.
A global community of peers who are learning that there's a better way to lead.
I know the temptations—and the traps—of reactive mode all too well.
For years I threw myself into my career with drive and ambition, working constantly and pushing hard. I told myself it was for a noble cause—I was making change happen, after all. I was rewarded and promoted for my efforts. Until I practically pushed myself off a cliff.
In my 30s, I was struck by the sudden and alarming awareness that I’d been living my life on autopilot. That all of my choices were actually non-choices. And most disturbing of all for this overachiever, that my effort far exceeded my impact.
All that work wasn't working. I was getting things done, but not doing much that really mattered. And I was losing myself in the process.
I realized that my ability to lead change around me required me to change first. But I had no idea where to begin. Fortunately, I found a few wise and loving people who taught me simple practices for living my life more fully and working smarter.
I got clear about what mattered most, and focused my energy there. I stopped pushing myself and others, and started to see my work as play. I stopped struggling with change and learned to dance with it.
You might assume that my career slowed down as a result, but the opposite happened. If you listen to my full story (above), I’ll share how three fundamental shifts changed my life and work for the better:
1. Reorienting my personal navigation system from outward-focused ambition to a clear and actionable intention—and how this led me directly to the C-Suite
2. Cultivating a practice of being, not just doing—which I resisted until I had no choice
3. Stumbling into transformational leadership—and how this unlocked impact I could never have imagined
Today, I teach and coach transformational leaders around the world, and I’ve created Radiant Leader as a space for us to practice these shifts and strategies together, with less stumbling, more structure and more support. I tried everything (and failed plenty) so you don't have to.
