Above all other things, communicating well is probably THE biggest differentiator between interactions that go well and achieve the desired outcome and those that blow up in our face.

It may not be solved by just learning the right words, but there are ways to objectively understand what to say and how to interact based on each others’ needs... with the key idea here being that others have needs we may not be aware of or considering.

Frameworks (like DiSC!) have been so helpful for me to get the logistical part of meeting communication needs down to a pattern. This frees me up to make connection and care the priorities and increase the likelihood of achieving trust.

If you’re curious about DiSC and how it can help you, DM me - I love digging in.

And if you’re local to Seattle or West Seattle, join me in-person on June 17th for a free workshop to get a taste.

Serving in the Peace Corps is a gift I continue to learn from. While going through the most uncomfortable imposter syndrome, true vulnerability, and health challenges, we learned that life is doable when connection is present and, to achieve that connection and almost everything else of value, leading from the heart is the way.

Wouldn’t it be nice to just… not feel reactive for once? There is so much happening beyond our control and we spiral trying to just BE with all of it. Whether you’re dealing with immediate conflict or hoping to find some ease in the craze, join our in-person workshop (in Seattle) for FREE! I’d love to see you there and help you walk away feeling more grounded and ready to face what’s next. March 14, 3-5pm. Register at the link in my bio.

The best leaders aren’t always the most gregarious and, in fact, valuing extroverted vocalism above well-articulated proposals may be to the detriment of the voice of a better idea.

Leadership looks like many different things, and it’s worth it to mull over the idea that magnetism may look more like trust-building through listening, sharing authentically without performing, and making space for others’ innovative voices, too.

If it feels like leadership advice always keeps you from feeling powerful, or undermines your true strength, I’d love to see you at next week’s Quietly Powerful workshop. Let’s come to terms with the fact that we already come well-equipped to lead, no matter our delivery.

Thanks to Ellevate Pacific Northwest Community for partnering and proving the platform for this great discussion.
