Say the word ambition, especially around women, and it brings up a complicated mix of emotions and beliefs. If you're not succeeding, you're not ambitious enough. If you are succeeding, wanting a lot, and going for it, y
Some words and experiences come with a lot of baggage, conjuring up fear, stigma, and shame. But being afraid or ashamed doesn’t protect us from those experiences or those words. It just keeps us from really understandin
Every system we move through runs on norms: rules and agreements that are both explicit and implicit. And nowhere are they more powerful–or more invisible–than in how we lead and how we build our businesses. In fact, soc
It is hard to be human. And right now, it is even harder to be humane, to ourselves and to others. And so many high-achieving, deeply caring leaders are under pressure to stay regulated, calm, and adaptable, no matter wh
The way you relate to power is the way you relate to everything around and within you–your work, your people, your sense of what's possible. And most of us have never actually examined that relationship. And in this seas
You have probably heard of the concept of psychological safety and what it takes to foster it on your team and in spaces you lead. Maybe you’ve read books or taken trainings. Here’s the tricky thing: psychological safety
When you think of networking, do you feel discomfort or even dread? Most of us learned that “networking” is fundamentally transactional, asking for and doling out favors in order to further our aims. Maybe you or someone
Story is our brain’s first language. And our minds fill in a story’s blanks long before the facts catch up. Before we consciously interpret an event, our nervous system has already scanned for threat and sent that inform
Most of us know about the “fight, flight, freeze” responses to trauma. But there is another concept that has been steadily gaining awareness over the last several years, in large part due to pop psychology on social medi
There is a well-known cognitive phenomenon that we are all susceptible to, and even more so when we’re stressed. And we’re all at least a little stressed and overwhelmed right now. The illusory truth effect catches us wh
If it feels like you’ve lived a year inside of a month right now, you’re not alone. The cycle of our times is relentless and demands more of our attention and emotional capacity than we were ever meant to carry. This dis
Our nervous systems form the foundation of how we move through the world. It is the filter for our thoughts, behaviors, and interpretations. And when our nervous systems are dysregulated, it impacts how we show up for ou
How do we stay awake and aware without constantly being outraged? Or, perhaps even worse, normalizing what should be utterly unacceptable? Staying human is hard in this environment. So many leaders are trying to hold ont
Every day, we’re flooded with information–headlines, opinions, advice, noise. And beneath that deluge of input, we carry stories that tell us how we stay safe and what asking questions will cost us. Certainty too often f
Leaders carry the weight of more than their current roles. We receive messages from the generations before us about our worth, work, and belonging that shape how we show up–for better or worse. This is just as true in ou
What does it mean to be good? It’s a little word that carries a lot of weight for many of us. Be a good girl. Be a good friend. Be a good leader. Do good. Good can sound like praise, but become a cage of expectations and
We live in an age where truth twists into confusion, opinion drowns out data, and it’s increasingly difficult to figure out whose expertise we can trust. Where did our mistrust in expertise come from? Its roots stretch b
Have you ever thought of being an amateur as a good thing? Many of us learned from an early age that our worth was tied to excelling at what we do and turning it into something productive. And many leaders carry the beli
We’ve all had bad bosses. We might have even been one. At the very least, we’ve probably let people down who counted on us. We all carry burdens from our past that show up in how we lead. And we’re all confronting system
How we care for ourselves is inextricably connected to how we lead. In a culture where we moralize health and sell wellness as a symbol of worth, where we’re obsessed with productivity and optimization, our relationships
