  • Summer Vibes - How to Use Low Season as a Leader of Change

    Summer breaks. Holiday slowdowns. Suddenly your team is at 30% capacity, but the change initiative must keep moving or your crisis project still needs hands on deck.


    How do you keep momentum, uphold leadership standards, and make the most of this “low season” without crawling up the walls from frustration or impatience?


    In this episode, I share my best strategies for leaders navigating low-capacity seasons - whether driven by vacation periods, industry events, or business cycles.

    From planning critical handovers and reflecting on team performance, to using the lull for mid-year reviews and personal growth, this episode is packed with tips to help you lead with confidence and clarity. You’ll walk away with questions to guide your self-reflection, ideas for keeping your initiative on track, and ways to prep your team for even bigger wins after the break.

  • Trauma Triggers at Work - the Deeper Side of Reactions to Change

    Have you ever announced a change at work - a new structure, a new tool, or a shift in priorities - and been stunned by the unexpected emotional reactions?


    If you’ve found yourself wondering, “Why are my team members so upset?” or “What did I do wrong?“, this is for you.


    In this episode, we dig beneath the surface of change management to uncover how trauma triggers and deep-seated fears - like abandonment, conflict, or mistrust - can unexpectedly show up when change is announced. I’ll share insights on why certain reactions feel out of proportion, why your biggest supporters might suddenly check out, and how you as a leader can recognize what’s really going on (without turning into a psychoanalyst). You’ll learn practical approaches for navigating emotional tidal waves, supporting your team, and staying centered and powerful as a woman leader - no matter what reactions come your way.

  • Change Management: Why is This Taking So Long?

    Ever found yourself exasperated, asking, “Why is this change taking so long?” Whether you’re 10 months into a 6-month project or struggling to see your team embrace a new organizational structure, you’re not alone. Leading transformation - especially at scale - never unfolds as neatly as your strategic project plan.

Before you move on to swap tools or leaders, listen to this episode.
