Sara Kubica joins us to talk about the journey…maybe its not so much about becoming. Maybe it's about un-becoming everything that isn't you. In this episode you'll learn about Sara's journey and how to start your un-becoming in a four step method. Step 1: What about you, is not really you? Step 2: You define who you are. Step 3: Set your boundaries. Step 4: Enforce your boundaries. Listen as Sara walks you through her transformation.

You may have almost noticed yourself feeling different. And you can't really put a name to that feeling. It's not depression, it's not anxiety so what is it? It's kinda a BLAH feeling, right? It’s a feeling of stuck, maybe? Yeah - we've felt it too. Listen in as we discuss that feeling in-depth and grapple over how to describe it. We are sharing interesting ways to beat it back with a rather large club AKA self-talk.

In this episode, we learn that we both previously taught workshops about personal values, naturally. Plus 1 for wonder twin status! We also talk about how having documented values has had a big impact in our lives. Then, Regina walks Dr. Jen through Brene Brown's exercise to choose your top 2 values. Listen in as Dr. Jen painstakingly goes from 30+ values to 2. It is equal parts hilarious and ...inspiring?

Check out Brene Brown's values exercise on the Dare to Lead Website.

Listen in to part 2 of our discussion on Executive Presence. Last episode, we shared a model of executive presence that helps break down what in the world it is (via nouns!). In this episode, we talk to a  leader working to find her way to her own version of executive presence with authenticity while showing up as her whole self.

Check out Brene Brown's values exercise on the Dare to Lead Values Exercise to prep for next week's episode.

Are the words that describe Executive Presence nouns or adjectives…I mean who knows and what are we trying to say anyway? Well listen in as we dive into a really cool model for Executive Presence. And what does Rick Grimes have to do with it?

This is part one of a tw- part series where we share a simple model for developing executive presence, the most elusive term in leadership.

It's Friday and we are back chatting it up with Laure Chachere about Leadership Courage. Laure walks us through specific examples of how she developed this skill and few mishaps along the way.  Laure shares her journey of making mistakes, speaking up, facing issues head-on, and the courage to receive tough feedback. There's a ton of take-aways and a guest appearance from Walter that you don't want to miss. 

In this episode, we are chatting about trailblazer for balance, Shirley Conran! We are talking about balance, time management and a women who taught us how to be Superwomen in 1975!  

How do you lead when you can’t fill your own cup? How do you show up for your team when you are struggling personally? Leadership isn't all unicorns and rainbows (say what?). In this episode, we talk with Lin, a total badass who shares with us how she showed up as a leader throughout her own trauma and depression. Listen in to join this tough, real, and rewarding conversation.  

Happy happy Friday! Want to know why we are excited!! We are SHOWING UP today with another LEADERish Sips & Tips minisode launching today. Speaking of showing up, we’re talking about a quote from  @glennondoyle from her book #untamed! What does it mean to show up? What does it mean to show up messy and complicated? What does it mean to show up afraid? Listen in to join the conversation.
