I love thinking about the power of trust. I love appreciating how it has the ability to foster stronger relationships, create new avenues for exploration, and help us navigate troubling times with those we cherish the most. In leadership, trust is perhaps even more important — it is the foundation for cohesive teams and high-performing […]

“Not good enough. No one likes you. You’re not cut out for this. You can’t do this.” Many of us — sometimes every day — fight a battle with intrusive, negative self talk that may stir up distressing mental imagery of failure, past experiences, or internalized self worth issues that we may not have been […]

An organization’s success often hinges on the ability of its employees to work together efficiently and seamlessly. While I could dedicate entire blog posts to every important aspect of organizational culture that improves efficiency, I want to focus on perhaps the most fundamental quality every team must cherish — trust. Trust is the foundation to […]

Recall the last time you intentionally started a habit. If you’re blanking, that’s normal and expected; oftentimes, our habits formed out of natural routines we’ve found ourselves completing automatically. Maybe you start the day with making your bed, or you always stop for a snack break at 2:00PM — the common denominator is that you […]

There was a time in my life where I once told myself that the worst thing a person could be was a failure; that failure is the end of the road, game over, and if I don’t fit my idea of success in a timeline I set for myself, I might as well throw in […]

Our world is full of contradictions. We seem to be increasingly connected by technology yet divided by misunderstanding. Every single one of us can probably recall at time where we felt misunderstood while communicating with a person, and in such situations, it can sometimes feel like communication barriers are insurmountable. But I’m here to tell […]

It’s not unusual for even the most gifted, talented, or tenacious of us to feel like we do not “fit the picture” of what success “should” look like. At times, we may even feel unworthy of being complimented or praised for how far we’ve come, and positive feedback or taking pride in our own success […]

Imagine a workplace where every team members look forward to showing up, try their hardest, and feel empowered to raise concerns or take risks without worrying about criticism, judgment, or retribution for mistakes. It’s a workplace where innovation and trying new ideas, despite the very real risk of failure, are core values that are championed […]

And as we turn the page on a wonderfully exciting year of developing a growth mindset, setting achievable goals and building our resilience, I would love to dive into this new year talking about perhaps my favorite skill that everyone — leader, team member, entrepreneur, quite literally everyone — can find inner strength and wisdom […]

Understanding Self Awareness in Leadership Most leaders are capable of guiding a team to success and seeing a project through to its full completion, but great leaders — at least, in my experience — go above and beyond in cultivating a workplace that fosters personal growth, honest communication, and a healthy working environment where everyone […]

I’m no stranger to a busy schedule. I love filling my day with opportunities to connect with others, write more blogs, and enrich my routine with new adventures. But it is precisely because I love checking completed tasks off of my to-do list that I was surprised to find myself feeling fatigued at the thought […]

The world seems to be moving faster than ever. It moves so quickly that it often feels like there is too much to do but not enough time to do it all. All the while we cope with endless to do lists, maybe download a project management software, or commit to keeping a time management […]
