In this "Lessons" episode, Sarah Gibbons, creator of The Board Leadership Program, explores how true leadership begins with self-awareness, emotional responsibility, and alignment with one’s core values. She breaks down why defining your personal values reshapes not only how you lead others but also how you make everyday decisions.

In this "Lessons" episode, we're exposing why your relationship feels dead: You look at your partner and feel nothing. You think it means you chose wrong. It doesn't—every long relationship cycles through falling in and out of love multiple times. Most people leave during the "out" phase and never make it back to "in." I'll walk you through the three phases every relationship cycles through—and how to choose back in instead of leaving when everyone else leaves.
