Companies are hiring!

A few weeks ago, I was innundated with Interview Prep coaching requests.

Interviewing is something I have excelled at…except that time I told a hiring committee that I had RBF (oops). 🤗

Nothing makes me happier than helping clients feel more confident going into an interview.

What is Epic Leader S**t?

It's not waiting on opportunities, not waiting on someone else to give you permission to thrive, not waiting on the right time, not waiting on it to be easy.

Doing Epic Leader S**t is writing your own story and writing it in BOLD!

The anticipation and excitement is almost more than I can handle.

Waiting for my peonies to bloom is a lot like watching clients take the next steps towards their career goals.

Luckily, I am a much better coach than I am a green thumb.

🏁 It’s World Bicycle Day — so let’s talk Ironman.

Specifically, the bike leg: 112 miles of grit, wind, and willpower.

💡 If you're in middle management, this part of the race will feel very familiar.

Here’s the vibe:

✅ You’ve survived the swim (read: chaotic intro to leadership).
✅ You’ve made it through transition.
🚴‍♀️ Now you’re out on the longest stretch — tired, tested, and not even close to done.

Middle management = the bike leg.

You're balancing exec demands, shifting priorities, tight budgets…
While your team wants more resources, more recognition, more clarity.

You’re pedaling hard. The wind changes. Bottles fly.
You question if you’ll ever get out of this stretch — or this role.

What helps?

🔹 Aerodynamics — streamline what you can. You can't shorten the distance, but you can ride smarter.
🔹 Fuel — for me, this leg takes 7.5 hours. Same as your workday. You need the right energy and mindset.
🔹 Settle in — trust your training. Pace yourself. Look up.

Some leaders smile and soak it in.
They draw energy from the ride — from their team, from the wins.

Others? Heads down. Exhausted. Surviving saddle sores and emotional tailwinds.

The choice is yours.

Do you grind through it?
Or grow through it?

A Coach’s Confession: I’m an introverted operations girl.

I didn’t look or act like the other “natural” leaders.

But I’ve coached hundreds of leaders since—and I’m proof you don’t need to be the loudest in the room to be effective.

Your network is critical: Make time for the call

Becca reached out to me through the MicDrop Workshop page because we speak on a similar topic. We connected once via Zoom and since then, we've become accountability buddies, brainstorming partners, podcast recorders, cheerleaders, and most importantly, friends.

I feel fortunate that I had a break in my schedule and could fly to PA for her Women's Retreat. It was a beautiful experience that was expertly led by Becca and Rachel.

I am headed home feeling refreshed, rejuvinated, and energized in all aspects of my life. Thank you Becca and Rachel for such a lovely day. I'm looking forward to the next one.

I struggled when I became a manager at 23 and again at 29.

Promoted for my technical skills and killer work ethic, not my leadership skills.

Sound familiar?

That’s why I wrote Leadership is Easy (Said No One Ever)—for leaders like you.

Sunscreen keeps you from getting burned. So does setting clear expectations.

I've never met a leader who said, "Gosh, I really hope someone burns me today." But it happens when they don't set boundaries. You've heard the phrase, "what you tolerate, you promote."

Boundaries make it clear what is tolerated on a team and what is not tolerated. When a team member isn't meeting performance expectations, have that conversation immediately, if not sooner. Otherwise, their behavior becomes the norm and the longer you take to address it, the hotter their response will be.

Take it from this fair skinned, freckly woman, you don't want to spend too much time near the equator without sunscreen. And as a leader, you don't want to play with ultraviolet rays.

Protect yourself from the pain, apply clear expectations early and re-apply often.

Happy Sunscreen Day!

🎖️ Leading with Honor

Today we remember those who gave everything in service.

True leadership is about sacrifice, service, and standing for something greater than yourself.

Pause. Reflect. Lead with intention.
