My greatest pleasure is working with young aspiring leaders-- especially when they are from my alma mater!

Thank you Washburn University Student Government for inviting me to facilitate your planning retreat! What a fun morning. I'm so proud of you all for leading your fellow students at Washburn & I can't wait to see your bright futures unfold.

The leaders who thrive in what's next won't be the ones who simply manage, they'll be the ones who adapt.

That's the work at the heart of The Future-Proof Leader, my flagship 9-month cohort experience.

Organizations bring me their leaders, and together we build the awareness and skills to lead with empathy, clarity, and intention through whatever comes next.

The teams who've done this work make faster, more aligned decisions, collaborate better across functions, and lead with more confidence and trust.

If your organization is ready to invest deeply in its leaders, I'd love to talk.
🔗 Book a discovery call https://calendly.com/bookcoachbeth/fpl and we'll design a cohort around your goals.

Heard rumblings of some folks staying in Power & Light planning to walk to Arrowhead! 😳🥴

If you're not from around here... that's not a fun walk. Especially not in June/July.

A very important lesson here friends.... always do your research before traveling! :)

What an honor to take the stage tonight at Keystone Innovation District's Keystone Sessions to discuss the four basecamp nations we're hosting as Kansas City prepares to officially kick off World Cup festivities tomorrow! ⚽️

Basecamp Bootcamp was such a great event with a delicious spread of foods from the basecamp nations- Algeria 🇩🇿, Argentina 🇦🇷, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 & The Netherlands 🇳🇱. Thank you, Heidi Stevens & International Trade Council Of Greater Kansas City for inviting me to speak.

The World Cup is about more than sport— it's about people, cultures, and connection. I'm excited for KC to experience this incredible global event and grateful to have contributed to the conversation!

Today I had the opportunity to attend the ICAN Women’s Leadership Conference in Omaha and I left feeling energized, challenged, and deeply grateful.

The conversations, insights, & energy in the room were a powerful reminder of what leadership development can look like when people gather with intention & heart!

This year’s theme was around optimism intelligence and it felt especially timely for me. A reminder that optimism is a conscious leadership choice in the face of uncertainty. In a world that often feels heavy, choosing hope, adaptability, and possibility is powerful leadership work.

A sincere thank you to the organizers, to Aileen Warren, the speakers, and everyone who made today such a meaningful experience. Thank you to Laura Roccaforte for inviting me. Grateful to have spent the day learning alongside so many thoughtful, inspiring leaders and leaving with new ideas to carry forward.

Hope to see you all again next year!

Someone asked me a great question today:

When leaders want to build psychological safety, what are the blind spots that actually make people feel unsafe?

Honestly, the question made me pause.

Because psychological safety does not just erode over time. Sometimes it was never intentionally built to begin with.

Here are the human behaviors that came to mind:

Condescension
Passive-aggressive communication
Overused sarcasm
Defensiveness when challenged
Yelling or raised tones
Mocking or dismissing others

None of these, on their own, make someone a bad leader.

We are human. We all have moments where we miss. And we need to give others and ourselves grace and space for that humanness.

But culture is shaped by patterns, not isolated moments. And just as importantly, it is shaped by what happens after those moments.

Do we have the self-awareness to recognize it?
The humility to own it?
The willingness to repair and adjust?

I am curious, what would you add to this list?

Someone asked me a great question today: When leaders want to build psychological safety… what are the blind spots that actually make people feel unsafe?

Honestly, the question made me pause. Because psychological safety doesn’t just “erode” over time. Sometimes it was never intentionally built to begin with.

Here are the human behaviors that came to mind:

Condescension
Passive-aggressive communication
Overused sarcasm
Defensiveness when challenged
Yelling or raised tones
Mocking or dismissing others

None of these, on their own, make someone a bad leader. We’re human. We all have moments where we miss. And we need to give others- and ourselves- grace & space for that humanness.

But culture is shaped by patterns, not isolated moments. And just as importantly, it’s shaped by what happens after those moments.

Do we have the self-awareness to recognize it? The humility to own it? The willingness to repair and adjust?

I’m curious-- what would you add to my list of initial thoughts?

This summer, Kansas City welcomes Tunisia! 🇹🇳

There’s something really special about hearing people experience your home for the first time. 🥰

I had the chance to connect with two students from Tunisia & Bilel who are currently living & studying here in Kansas City at . will be hosting Team Tunisia this summer for the World Cup! ⚽️

I asked them:
What stood out about Midwest hospitality when you arrived?
What do you hope Kansas City gets to learn about your culture?
And what advice would you give to fans from Tunisia coming here for matches?

Their answers were thoughtful, honest, and a great reminder that how we show up matters more than we think.

As we get closer to welcoming the world, it’s worth remembering that what feels normal to us can feel very different to someone else. 💡

Like how people get around, and how different that experience might be for someone visiting Kansas City for the first time.

Because the experience people have here won’t just be shaped by the event… it will be shaped by us!

Thank you, Emna & Bilel! 🙌🏽
