🚨 🚨 🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 🚨 🚨

Your Way is here!

Leadership advice is everywhere, and it can be hard to distinguish between useful insight and shallow opinion. Each video we watch and article we read promises a 5-step solution to being an ideal leader. But what happens when the advice doesn’t resonate? When the formula takes us further from the gifts we’ve been granted, the skills we’ve mastered, and the traits we like most about ourselves? Does being a great leader mean living by someone else’s playbook while abandoning the instincts we’ve relied on our entire careers?

It doesn’t have to.

Created for today’s high-conflict, high-risk, high-yield workplace, Your Way is a groundbreaking framework that modernizes servant leadership for a new generation.

Our 8 Waymaker Archetypes - including their associated gifts, blind spots, and moments to shine – will expand how leaders think about and act upon their leadership instincts, clearing the way to increased contribution, greater creativity, and a culture of genuine care for all.

Bottom line: You CAN make a way without changing who you are.

One factor in the stalling of DEI progress that we’re not talking about enough?

We worked the systems without connecting the people.

People who are not connected to the work—who do not see themselves in it, who do not feel care and responsibility for their colleagues, who do not understand the personal and team benefits of sharing power as insight, access, and opportunity—will resist a change they perceive as taking without giving.

It’s true that the resistance can be rooted in any number of isms, or multiple.

But sometimes, we’ve simply failed to remember how human motivation works.

Understanding comes before caring.
And caring comes before doing.

That’s why we don’t see our work as training. We don’t check boxes. We move people toward progress by curating experiences where people can discover what is innately human about the work, their colleagues, and the workplace that is possible with their conscious leadership.

Connectedness is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal. - Tara Jaye Frank

We believe a leader’s job is to unleash talent fully, freely, and fairly. We do that by ensuring all people feel seen, respected, valued, and protected.

Of course, it’s also a leader’s job to cast a vision. Create a strategy. Assign work. Manage performance. Maximize opportunities. Mitigate risk.

These two aims—leading all people well and driving business outcomes are not separate and distinct. The first can fuel the former, if we are intentional enough.

You can be a very nice person and still be very biased. These two attributes do not exist on the same dimension.

Last year, I prayed for ease, but I wasn’t ready to receive it.

I didn’t realize how intentionally I would have to challenge my mindset and instincts to live a more peaceful, less “hustle-filled” life.

This year, I’ve been catching myself when my pre-work and overwork habits start stirring.

I’m resisting the urge to “get ahead of things,” because more often than not, getting ahead only means rework when those things change before they actually materialize.

I’m no longer striving to be early—
instead, I aim to be right on time.

Surrendering = finally believing that what is meant for me won’t miss me.

We don't believe in "born" leaders. Not in this climate where there are so many ways to get it wrong. Great leaders are made, and you can be one when you're open to change.

You may not be a sign-carrying, street-marching activist, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have a voice or that you don’t have power.

YOU have the power to influence the culture you participate in—every day--with every interaction you have, every relationship you build, every choice you make.

Our collective future is in our hands.

Help your little Waymaker set their own high bar with this affirmations tee from www.thewaymakersshop.com.

Be a leader who makes a way for every one. What is a Waymaker? A Waymaker is a leader who uses their power and position to help others succeed. In my heart, The Waymakers is an invitation. An invitation to every leader, at every level, who is willing to make a way through the wilderness …

Feeling accomplished today because all I ever wanted to do was honor our humanity by clarifying chaos, seeding optimism, creating solutions, inspiring courage, connecting people, and celebrating progress.

No matter what role I played or title I held, this was always the point. I love seeing folks enjoy just one of the many ways my team and I are pursuing purpose.

Every time you wear something from The Waymakers Shop, you are telling those with whom you interact what you value and believe in.

Such a simple way to stand out for good. 🙏🏽
