Here is something I have learned after years of sitting in rooms with leaders.

What lives only in your head stays there.

You can think about who you want to be as a leader all day long. But until you write it down, it stays an idea. The moment you put it on paper, it becomes real. Possible. Something you can actually work toward.

That is the whole reason Start with You exists. Not as another thing to read, but as a place to actually do the thinking, on paper, one week at a time.

If you missed yesterday's announcement, my first journal is now available for pre-order. Full details on the blog. Link in comments. πŸ‘‡

Okay. I have to come clean. πŸ˜…

I wrote my blog post. I did the social media content for it. I told people it was coming. And then... I forgot to actually publish it.

So if you stopped by my website this morning and wondered where it was, I am so sorry. It is there now, and it is one I am really proud of.

Lesson of the day? I am not perfect. None of us are. We hold ourselves to these impossible standards and then beat ourselves up when we miss a step. Today was my reminder that grace applies to me too.

We expect so much from ourselves. But the reality is, we cannot do it all perfectly, all the time. And that is okay. Own it, fix it, move on.

✨ My latest post is live now: Start with You: My First Leadership Journal Is Here and Pre-Orders Are Open.

Go check it out and let me know what you think. πŸ‘‡

Imagine your team showing up to meetings ready to engage, not just sitting there waiting for it to end.

Imagine conflict getting addressed early, before it turns into something bigger.

Imagine people on your team feeling like they understand not just what to do, but why it matters.

That is what good leadership training does. It is not about a binder full of theory. It is about real conversations and real tools your team actually uses.

If that sounds like something your team could use, I would love to talk. Send me a message or visit www.leadwithlinnea.com to start the conversation.

NEW today: my first journal is here. πŸ“–

It is called Start with You: 13 Weeks to Know Yourself as a Leader, and pre-orders are officially open.

Here is the question it is built around: Who am I as a leader right now? Not who you want to be. Not who your organization needs you to be. Who you actually are today, strengths, blind spots, and all.

13 weeks. 5 sections. One prompt at a time, written to make you think and give you space to be honest with yourself.

Local pickup is $20. Shipping is available too. Full details and how to order are in today's blog post. www.leadwithlinnea.com/blog

Training Tuesday thought:

You do not need to be an expert to keep growing. You just need to stay curious.

I have sat in rooms with leaders who have been doing this for twenty years and leaders who started last month. The ones who keep getting better are not the ones who think they have it figured out. They are the ones who are still asking questions.

What is something you are curious about right now, even if you already "should" know it?

Stay curious this week. It will take you further than you think.

Monday morning check in.

What energy are you walking into this week with, and what energy do you actually want to bring?

Maybe you are coming off a big weekend (I sure am) and you are riding a little bit of momentum. Maybe you are tired and you need today to be gentler than usual.

Either way, you get to choose what you bring into the rooms you walk into this week.

Take thirty seconds before your first meeting or your first task. Notice what you are carrying. Then decide what you want to set down, and what you want to bring with you.

What energy are you choosing today?

I am still smiling about Saturday.

Thank you to everyone who showed up to celebrate my graduation with me. The hugs, the laughter, the conversations that went way longer than planned. It was everything.

If you were there, you made it special. If you sent a message because you could not make it, that meant just as much.

Sometimes the best part of reaching a goal is realizing how many people were rooting for you the whole time. I felt that this weekend in a big way.

Thank you. Truly. πŸ’›

This week's Sunday email is in your inbox right now and this one is worth stopping for. πŸ’›

Highs and lows. Sometimes in the same week. Sometimes on the same day. That is exactly what this week was, and I am talking about all of it today.

The journal launch. A graduation celebration. The loss of Casey Rice of Branch County Road Commission. And the question I have been sitting with all week: how do we maintain a positive mindset when we are surrounded by something so horrible?

Good morning and happy Sunday! 🌿

What a week it has been. New blog post, a journal announcement, a graduation party. I am feeling grateful and a little tired and very full of good things.

Before this week gets going, take a few minutes today to set yourself up. What are you walking into this week? What do you need to prepare for? What is the one thing that, if you got it done, would make the whole week feel like a win?

Write it down. Set the intention. Go get it. πŸ’›

It's graduation party day and I am in full prep mode over here. πŸŽ“πŸŽ‰

If you have been following along, you know we are celebrating my Master's Degree tonight starting at 5pm. If you want to come and you have not already reached out for the address, send me a message. We would love to see you.

Today's self-care reminder: celebrate your wins. The big ones and the small ones. You worked hard. You deserve to enjoy it. Do not rush past this moment.

See some of you tonight! πŸ’›
