The mission? Discussing everything work-related, from the comical office escapades to tackling heavyweight topics like workplace dynamics and leading teams through the storm of change.
Imagine this: an episode every two weeks, a crisp 20-minute runtime (because, let's face it, our attention spans are precious commodities).
It's a mix of discussions featuring group huddles with three fellow professionals and some solo wisdom drops.
Professionals Unplugged with Leadership Powered by Common Sense
In this episode I'm a guest myself of Doug Thorpe's podcast "Leadership Powered by Common Sense". I share a bit of my journey into coaching and emphasize that executive presence is a skill that can be developed through self-awareness, confidence, and effective communication. Doug and I delve into the concept of executive presence, explore its components, the challenges leaders face, and actionable strategies to develop this critical quality. But our conversation also addresses common challenges like imposter syndrome and the dynamics between introverts and extroverts in leadership roles, advocating for adaptability while maintaining one's true self.
Doug has a wealth of knowledge. I feel honored having been his guest, and his podcast is a fantastic resource for topics that are important for leading and running a business.

Building Trust
When I first planned this conversation, I thought we'd be discussing 'building trust' as a leadership cornerstone in 2024. With the rise of AI, hybrid work, and shifting company cultures, trust is more vital than ever for retaining talent and driving success. But what unfolded was a candid discussion on 'Building Trust in Leadership: Lessons from Military and Business.' Joined by Jake Clendenning, Jeremy Ransom, and Stephen Morris, we explored how military principles like servant leadership, active listening, and relationship-building can transform leadership in the corporate world. Tune in for practical insights on cultivating authentic trust and leadership in any environment!
