The leadership journey most of us expect is clean, linear, and predictable. The one we actually live is full of detours, wrong turns, awkward lessons, and surprising resets and that’s exactly where the growth happens. For this special 100th episode of The Path to Leadership, I’m going solo to reflect on what I’ve learned from building this podcast, coaching leaders, and watching people navigate real careers in real time. 

I share why Catalyst Development is a “how-to-do leadership” company, because most of us already know why leadership matters. What we need are practical leadership skills: self-awareness, decision-making, communication, relationship-building, and the ability to learn fast when things don’t go as planned. This reflection also comes after International Women’s Day conversations in Kansas City, including a powerful moment with Dynamic Logistics where we talked about how teams can show up for each other and create stronger workplace culture together. 

You’ll hear two stories that land like bookends: a coaching client stepping into the perfect next role after earlier timing didn’t align, and a soon-to-be graduate facing the discouraging reality of finding that first job. Different chapters of life, same core takeaway: the best decisions are often “best in the moment,” and leadership development is turning those moments into momentum. 

Before you go, I give simple homework: picture where you want to be in one year, name the skills and relationships you’ll need, and choose intentional actions to invest in that future.
