What if it’s not a strategy problem?
During a recent leadership roundtable, someone asked a big question: “Where are my leadership gaps?” We all shared thoughts in the moment. But later—during my morning journaling (yes, I’m still a fan…some of my best clarity happens there!)—I realized we were circling something bigger. Sometimes in business, we get so focused on tactics and strategy that we […]
The best way to reinforce training
Did you know that clicking through an online course, listening to a podcast, or reading a book isn’t going to make much of a difference in your behavior? That’s right. There’s something called the “Ebbinghaus forgetting curve” that demonstrates how quickly we forget information we take in if we don’t take some sort of action to […]
How healthy is your mental state…
If you were to write out all the thoughts you think in an hour or in a day, I wonder what you would witness? Our thoughts are on autopilot in our brain, and we don’t often pause to observe them. But Halle, why would I do that? Well, because with each rehearsal, these thoughts are […]
The foundation of effective leadership
As a leader, building trust within your team is non-negotiable. Trust is the foundation of collaboration, effective communication, and strong performance. It’s the magic that fills in the gaps and amplifies the efforts of thriving teams. Patrick Lencioni’s The Five Dysfunctions of a Team outlines how a lack of trust can significantly hinder a team’s ability […]
5 Leadership Myths
Let’s talk leadership myths. Somewhere along the way, laziness and assumptions about leadership got tangled into how we think about business success. It’s time to clear them out. Here are 5 Leadership Myths based on John Maxwell’s teachings (and why they don’t hold up): 1. The Management Myth: Management and leadership aren’t the same. Managers maintain […]
Your comfort is causing problems
I remember hearing Leila Hormozi say something to the effect of, If you’re comfortable in business, you’re moving backward. I’ve chewed on it for a while because like all things…there are interpretations inside of this to define. Business moves fast, and so is life these days and there are three distinct places we can play. […]
Let’s talk about books
I love reading, yet I go in spurts with it. Because books serve a larger purpose in my life which is loving to learn. If I’m taking a course, studying for a certification or stretching myself in some sort of way, reading is usually on the back burner. Then in the summer months, it’s not […]
Introducing LeadUp!
One of the keys to building a thriving business and cohesive team is equipping high-performing employees with essential leadership skills. Yet, leadership development often falls by the wayside—especially in small businesses and organizations with under 50 employees. When owners and executives have a strong leadership team that’s aligned in problem-solving, communication, and commitment, the whole […]
Where change really comes from
I wasn’t sure what to think. The calendar invite I received immediately grabbed 12 hours of my life for four days in a row. What?!?! Like, the whole workday and beyond? The agenda was vague, which is bothersome for this planner. It merely listed start times with the speaker lineup, that was it. When do […]
My life before coaching
YouTube Coaching is about birthing new things, things like ideas, mindsets, milestones and achievements. And I get to celebrate these moments, large and small with clients on a regular basis. But when the client births a podcast, then asks me to be a guest, it’s a joyous continuation of the celebration…with a bit of a […]
