The most influential leaders I know don't have the biggest titles.

They have something far more powerful: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄.

Real leadership isn't about the corner office or the business cards.

• It's about influence without authority.
• Vision without permission.
• Legacy without position.

This week, I popped into the 92.5 Phoenix FM studio to talk about the next edition of the Impact Leadership Conference in Dublin.

But honestly? It turned out to be another masterclass in leadership itself.

We dove deep into:

• Why authentic leadership trumps performative leadership → How to build influence when you're not the person in charge
• The difference between being a boss and being a leader
• Creating vision that people actually want to followThe conversation reminded me why this work matters so much.

Because somewhere right now, there's someone with incredible potential who thinks they need a promotion to make a difference.

Someone who's waiting for permission to lead. Someone who believes influence requires a title. It doesn't.

Leadership starts with a 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, not a 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. It begins with 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲, not 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘂𝘀. It grows through 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆, not 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀.

The insights shared might just change how you think about your own leadership journey.

Your 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹, but your 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴! Your 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿 dictates your 𝗗𝗮𝘆. Your 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 dictates your 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹. One overrides the other. Choose carefully which wins.

Ambitious professionals miss this. They optimize every minute. They maximize every opportunity. They schedule every breath. Their output 𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 soars. Their foundation 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 crumbles.

Health isn't just 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹.

• It's your 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱.
• It's your 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.
• It's your 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻-𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲.
• It's your 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲.

Neglect it at tremendous cost.

This Friday's 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆 changes everything.

• Not theoretical wellness fluff.
• Not impossible lifestyle overhauls.
• Not guilt-inducing health propaganda.

Instead: 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲-𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼-𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

• All designed for wartime schedules.
• All proven with elite performers.
• All compatible with ambition.

Challenges, setbacks, and transitions aren’t roadblocks—they’re 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 to evolve into a stronger, more resilient leader.

Yesterday on Coaching Weekly, I unpacked powerful lessons from Easter that every professional can apply to their growth journey.

As the Resident Executive Coach at 92.5 Phoenix FM, I shared actionable strategies to:

• Turn setbacks into comebacks through resilience.

• Align your goals with purpose-driven clarity.

• Cultivate a mindset of continuous renewal.

Easter teaches us that growth often requires patience, faith, and the courage to rise again.

Let’s explore how these principles can fuel your professional development and help you lead with purpose.

What’s one area of your career you’re ready to renew?

In the digital economy, 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 are limitless, but so is the competition.

The truth is, your qualifications alone won’t set you apart. It’s your brand, how you’re perceived, trusted, and remembered that opens doors to new opportunities and growth.

That’s why on yesterday's Coaching Weekly, I dived into 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘺.

As the Resident Executive Coach at 92.5 Phoenix FM, I shared practical strategies to help you:

• Define a personal brand that reflects your unique value.
• Build an authentic online presence that attracts opportunities.
• Leverage digital tools to amplify your influence and visibility.

Your personal brand isn’t just about what you do—it’s about how you make people feel and the value you bring to their lives.

Have you considered growing your personal brand, and what challenges have you faced so far?

Why Trump's new tariffs make financial wellness non-negotiable for professionals.

The economic landscape shifted dramatically this week as sweeping tariffs on imports were announced.

While markets react and analysts predict, one truth remains constant: those with financial clarity will navigate this volatility while others merely survive it.

73% of professionals report that economic uncertainty directly impacts their workplace performance, sleep quality, and decision-making capacity.

Yet only 12% have a robust financial wellness strategy beyond basic savings.

This isn't just about money—it's about maintaining cognitive bandwidth when markets fluctuate. It's about sleeping soundly despite headline chaos.

It's about making career decisions from a position of strength rather than financial insecurity.

As Resident Executive Coach at 92.5 Phoenix FM, this Coaching Weekly tackles this exact intersection of economic turbulence and professional performance.

How are the recent tariff announcements affecting your financial confidence?

Share your concerns below—I might address the most common themes in next week's episode.

𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗟𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡: The Silent Career Killer Most Professionals Never See.

In a world where your next opportunity could come from anywhere, communication isn't just a skill—it's your 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁. Imagine losing a million-dollar contract, not because of capability, but because of a misunderstood gesture.

Or watching a promising collaboration collapse over a simple cultural misinterpretation. This isn't about learning languages. This is about mastering the unspoken dialects of global success.

As the 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 at 92.5 Phoenix FM, today on 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆, I'm revealing the communication blueprints that transform cultural barriers into bridges of opportunity:

When Economies Crumble, Some People 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲. Here's Why

Economic uncertainty doesn't impact everyone equally. While some 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗹𝗲 under pressure, others emerge 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿. The difference isn't luck. It's 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

This week on 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗹𝘆, I'm pulling back the curtain on the psychological architecture that allows some to find opportunity in chaos. Because while 76% of people report feeling paralyzed during financial downturns, a select few have mastered the ability to 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁, 𝗽𝗶𝘃𝗼𝘁 and 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗿.

As the 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 on 92.5 Phoenix FM in Dublin, we decoded:

• The resilience blueprint
• Why traditional financial advice fails
• How to train your brain to spot opportunities

Your financial future is too important to leave to chance or headlines.

Resilience isn't about weathering the storm. It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Despite progress, women still face significant barriers in leadership. Breaking these barriers isn’t just about representation; it’s about building a more inclusive and innovative future.
