Navigating The Hidden Trio of Leadership Transitions – Grief, Gratitude & Growth

When we think about leadership transitions—new roles, reorganizations, retirements, or even layoffs—our first instinct is often to focus on strategy and structure. Who’s leading what? What’s the plan? How do we communicate the change?

But underneath every org chart update sits something deeply human: grief.

We rarely name it that way, yet every transition involves a loss. The loss of a familiar rhythm. Of a trusted colleague. Of a way of working that, even if imperfect, was known.

How Leaders Can Break Free from the Worry Loop

We all worry—it’s part of being human. A little worry can even be helpful: it nudges us to prepare for the presentation, double-check the flight time, or plan for the future.

But for many of the leaders I work with, worry doesn’t stop there. It spirals. What starts as a protective instinct quickly becomes a mental loop—one that drains energy, clouds decision-making, and robs us of presence.

In preparation for The Energy Edge Program, coming January 2026, I found a rabbit hole on worry and thought I would share some of what I found and liked.

Shift Happens: Why Every Leader Needs a September Reset

September arrives with a jolt. The air is sharper, routines pick up pace, and suddenly we’re
not floating in summer mode anymore — we’re back in the thick of it. It’s like the world

Leading With What Lights You Up: Why Joy Is a Leadership Skill

Leading With What Lights You Up: Why Joy Is a Leadership Skill

 Here’s a leadership truth we don’t talk about enough: 
Leadership truth: Joy is a powerful source of energy—and often the first thing to slip away in the swirl of pressure, performance, and people management.

But when leaders reconnect with what lights them up, they lead with more clarity, steadiness, and presence.

The Quiet Edge: How Leadership Stillness Creates Powerful Impact

The Quiet Edge: How Leadership Stillness Creates Powerful Impact

I’ve been thinking about stillness for a while now.
Not as absence or inaction—but as a kind of grounded presence. A way of being that anchors us in the middle of the swirl that surrounds us.

Because let’s be honest: leadership can feel like a moving target. There’s urgency, decision fatigue, competing agendas, and the relentless pressure to perform. In that churn, the pull is always toward more—more speed, more visibility, more doing.

Why Ending Well Matters More Than We Think

Why Ending Well Matters More Than We Think

Grief doesn’t always show up in the ways we expect.
And it’s not always about death.
Sometimes, it’s the dream that didn’t materialize.
The version of your role that no longer exists.

The leader you thought you’d become by now.

Do you feel like you are in a Tug of War?

Have you ever left a meeting with your head spinning, thinking, “Wait… didn’t we just say the opposite last week?” Or perhaps you’ve been told to “take bold action,” but also “don’t rock the boat.” If so, you’re not alone.
Welcome to the world of paradoxes.
And yes—it can feel like whiplash.

What Story Are You Telling Without Saying a Word?

What Story Are You Telling Without Saying a Word?

Leadership isn’t just about what you say.
It’s about how you walk into a room.
It’s in the way you listen—or don’t.
It’s reflected in your eye contact, posture, energy, and presence.
Whether you realize it or not, you’re always telling a story. And the people around you are paying attention.

The 50-Minute Meeting – Why Is It So Hard?

If you’ve ever felt like your calendar is running your life, you’re not alone. Meetings pile up back-to-back, leaving little time to breathe, let alone think and get work done. I’ve spent a lot of time teaching productivity strategies, and one of my absolute favorites is the 50-minute meeting.

You either love it or you hate it. Networking is more than exchanging business cards or adding connections on LinkedIn—it’s a fundamental leadership skill.

Networking is about building genuine relationships with individuals who can offer support, advice, and opportunities. While it can be daunting, effective networking can lead to significant benefits now and in the future.
