Mentorship vs. Sponsorship: If You Don’t Know the Difference, You’re Limiting Growth.
Mentorship and sponsorship are often used interchangeably.
They shouldn’t be.
While both are essential to leadership development and career progression, they serve very different purposes. And when leaders misunderstand or collapse the distinction, growth stalls in ways that are often invi...

Mentorship Is Not a Nice-to-Have. It’s a Performance Strategy.
Mentorship is often talked about as a generous act. A “good leader” behavior. Something nice to do when you have time.
That framing sells it short.
Mentorship isn’t a soft extra layered on top of “real work.” It is real work. And when done well, it’s a powerful performance strategy; for ...

The Myth of Balance: Why Great Leaders Live in Seasons, Not Equilibrium
For decades, we’ve been told to chase “work-life balance,” as if our professional and personal lives exist on opposite sides of a scale.
However, the reality is that they’re not opposing forces. They’re actually deeply intertwined.
The phrase “work-life balance” first gained traction in the...

Practice vs. Performance: Why Leaders Need More Reps, Not Just More Results
You’ve seen it in every sport.
Athletes spend the vast majority of their time training: practicing drills, conditioning, running plays, rehearsing responses. When game day arrives, it’s only 10% of their time. The other 90% is reps, not results.
But in leadership? The ratio flips.
Most le...

Your Leadership Legacy: What Will You Be Known For?

The Gift in the Mess: Why Progress Rarely Looks Polished
Growth isn’t always graceful, and that’s kind of the point.
We all want to lead with excellence. But if you’re stretching, learning, or doing anything new, you’re going to miss the mark sometimes.
I still remember the early days of my speaking career. My decks were rough. My delivery was ne...

The Confidence Paradox: Why Trying to “Feel Ready” Keeps You Stuck
Confidence doesn’t come before action, it follows it. Let’s talk about how to move forward without delay.
You probably know the pattern well: a big opportunity appears (a new role, a bold idea, a public platform), and instead of excitement, your first instinct is hesitation or even dread. You...

The Coachable Leader: Why Feedback is Your Superpower

You likely know the feeling well. You hit a goal, maybe it’s a big one. But instead of savoring it, your brain’s already hurtling toward the next mountain.
