Empathy can transform your leadership approach, making it more inclusive, adaptive, and impactful. It's about leveraging that emotional intelligence to not just achieve goals but to enrich and uplift those around you.

By embracing our role as perpetual students of life, we open ourselves up to limitless possibilities for learning and growth. It takes humility and self-awareness to admit that there is always room for improvement.

Many women aren’t aware of how default modes of being may hurt rather than help us. This is part of the powerful work I do with clients in my Unveil Your Brilliance signature program. Here’s an example of leadership transformation in action.

As purpose-driven women, we cannot let the insecurities, fears, and self-doubt our imposter drags in get us off track. Doing anything bold and new takes courage. Courage doesn’t mean we’re not afraid—it just means we are doing what we need to do, fear or no fear. Just do “it” sister!

When we immerse ourselves in environments or experiences that allow us to play with possibility, our perspective expands. We become aware and attune to so much more, which makes more available to us.

When we claim our gifts and talents and fully believe in our potential, we can stand tall and secure in our value and share our brilliance with the world, making our full impact. But sometimes we are the biggest barriers to our blessings. It’s our openness to the possibilities that unveils the opportunities that connect with our brilliance! Embrace possibilities in 2022!

Impact Players are treasured in organizations and rewarded for the value they add. Managers recognize these top performers and understand their worth. Leaders depend on them so they are privy to high-profile assignments and their peers respect them. Adopt these mindset shifts to become one too.

Impact Players are "individuals at any level of an organization who are doing work of exceptional value and having an extraordinary high impact.” Based on Liz Wiseman’s research, here are the key differentiators between Impact Players and their colleagues.

Acting as If is a simple technique I use in my coaching practice as it encourages clients to think, act, and feel as if they have a desired state. When I use Acting as If in coaching, I’m inviting my clients to speak from a future state and to embody the behaviors, attitudes, and actions that are true in that state. This enables them to try on new ways of being, and when paired with visualization and affirmation, can become a powerful force for enduring change.

Visualization is the process of creating a vivid mental image of a future event. Cognitive scientific research indicates that since the brain doesn’t know the difference between a real memory and an imagined one if you envision something vividly enough, your mind perceives it as something real that you’ve already experienced. This is why many celebrated athletes, such as Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Jack Nicklaus, and others successfully use visualization to level up their game. And so can you!
