What if the thing getting in your way IS the way?

It’s one of my favorite ideas, and one I come back to constantly in my work with leaders.

✔️ The difficult employee.
✔️ The conversation you keep avoiding.
✔️ The process that keeps breaking.
✔️ The customer frustration you keep hearing.
✔️ The change your team is resisting.

Our instinct is often to get navigate the obstacle so we can get back to the “real work.”

But sometimes the obstacle is showing us exactly WHAT AND WHERE the real work is.
What needs to change, to be said, to be learned to be different.

So maybe the question isn’t: How do I get around this?
Maybe it’s: What is this obstacle making possible?

Apparently, I’m a Learning Wizard. 🪄😉

And this November, I’m bringing a little of that magic to I4PL. But here’s the thing about great learning experiences: they aren’t actually magic. They’re intentionally designed.
The right challenge.
The right moment.
The right experience.
The right reason for someone to care enough to engage.

That’s what I’ll be talking about at I4PL — how we move beyond simply delivering content to create learning experiences that actually change what people think, do, and try next. Because maybe the real “magic” of learning isn’t what happens in the classroom.

It’s what becomes possible afterward. More details coming soon. 🪄

"I want to just tell them to stay in their lane."

That's what a leader said about an employee who keeps bringing them the same small issue. Again. And again.

Here's the thing about people who keep circling back to the same "trivial" issue. It's not trivial to them. And they can sense you think it is.

So they bring it back. And back. And back.

Next time this happens, try shifting from seeing it as an annoyance, to a neon flashing arrow, pointing you to exactly where they need to be heard. Because most people are reasonable. But reasonable people don't move forward until they feel understood. And telling someone to stay in their lane, to stop comparing, to let it go, doesn't stop them from comparing. It just stops you from being the person who helps them move through it.

Often times they're not asking, or expecting, you to agree. They're waiting for you to acknowledge.

So, next time you feel the urge to tell them to "stay in their lane", try this instead:
"I hear you. This matters to you. Tell me more about why."

That's often all it takes for someone to finally stop circling.

"If the version of you from five years ago could see your life today, what would surprise her the most?"

I got asked that last week in my Brain by Design® Masterclass. I wasn't ready for it.

My brain went straight to the highlight reel. Certifications. Book contributions. Stages I never imagined myself standing on. But the real answer, the one I'm most surprised by and most proud of, is my relationship with disappointment.

Not the big, obvious kind of disappointment. The quiet kind. The kind you get so used to managing around that you stop noticing you're doing it. I didn't know I was afraid of it. But I figured it out on the receiving end of coaching when I was asked the question, "What emotion can't you sit with?"

It stumped me for 3 days. Then a chipmunk answered it for me.

Yes, a chipmunk. My landscaping and I have a complicated history with that little guy. My reaction to him was so out of proportion that I couldn't ignore what was actually underneath it. And once I saw the pattern, I couldn't unsee it.

I had to learn to actually navigate disappointment. Not manage around it. Navigate it.

That shift changed how I advocate for myself. How I sit with other people's hard moments instead of rushing to fix them. How I coach.

Past me would not have believed disappointment was the headline. She never would have guessed the real unlock was learning to stay in the room with a feeling she'd spent years avoiding.

What would surprise your five-years-ago self? What's the quiet thing you've been managing around instead of sitting with?

What does your team need to be able to do that they can’t do today?
• Adapt faster to change?
• Break through a problem that keeps resurfacing?
• Work across silos without falling into the same old dynamics?
• Innovate beyond the ideas you’ve already tried?
• Navigate AI without getting stuck in fear, resistance, or old ways of working?

Every organization has something they want to make possible that they can’t do yet.

In The B❒X® Experience, we call that your Success Image.

And that little word YET matters.

Because when something feels out of reach, we tend to assume we need a better plan, more resources, different people, or another initiative.

Sometimes what needs to change first is our THINKING.

The B❒X® Experience gives teams a practical way to uncover the assumptions and patterns shaping how they see the challenge, and learn to think outside the box on demand.

So, what’s your team’s Success Image?

If there’s something your people need to be able to do that they can’t do yet, that’s exactly where we should start.

Bring me your “can’t do yet.” Let’s talk about what could make it possible.

“Everything I said was true.” That was the response I got when I asked a coaching client how a feedback conversation with one of their employees had gone.

And maybe everything they said WAS true. But that wasn't really my point.

The real question was: Did the employee really hear it?
Did it create reflection?
Learning?
A willingness to do something differently?

Or did their attention shift to defending, explaining, blaming, or protecting?

We can be completely accurate and still deliver feedback in a way that makes it hard for someone to do anything with it.

So maybe the measure of a good feedback conversation isn't just: “Did I say what needed to be said?”

It’s: “Did I say it in a way they could hear it?”

Turns out, some of the best conversations happen in very small rooms. 🎙️

But great conversations happen everywhere.
In an office.
During a 1:1.
Around a conference table.
In a coaching conversation.
And yes, inside a tiny podcast booth.

I've become a little obsessed with the moments inside those conversations.

The ONE question that unlocks something.
The ONE insight that shifts perspective.
The ONE comment someone keeps thinking about days later.
The ONE choice that changes what happens next.

I call them Power of One™ Intentional Moments.

And recently, I had the chance to step behind the microphone and talk about how we can create more of them.

Because you don't need a big stage to make an impact.

Sometimes you just need one moment.

Sometimes people need more room than we give them.

Room to try.
To experiment.
To move things around.
To follow an idea somewhere unexpected.

This photo reminds me that some of our best learning happens when we get out of the environment we’re used to.

And I don’t just mean getting away from the desk.

Sometimes we need to get out of our routines.
Our assumptions.
Our usual way of solving the problem.

As leaders, we can create that room for people.

Who on your team might surprise you if you gave them a little more space to explore?

08/28/2026

One pattern I see with teams is waiting too long to address the small thing.

A missed expectation.
A change in behavior.
A moment that didn’t sit right.

But it doesn’t feel BIG enough to address.

So we wait.⏳

Then we notice it again...And again.

Until the small conversation we could have had becomes a much bigger one.

Leadership doesn’t always require a BIG conversation.

Most of the time it requires one small one to course correct.

08/25/2026

When did “responded quickly” become evidence that someone is working hard?

We’ve created a strange workplace equation:
Fast reply = engaged.
Green dot = available.
Full calendar = important.
Immediate response = committed.

But none of those actually tell us whether someone is doing meaningful work. And when leaders reward the appearance of productivity, people get really good at producing the appearance of productivity.

Maybe we need to pay less attention to who looks busy. And more attention to what actually gets accomplished.
