What if the lessons that changed you this year could also shape how you lead next year? In this episode, I’m reflecting on the most important lessons I learned in 2025, both personally and from working closely with executive clients navigating growth and leadership at higher levels.
Listen in to learn why growth requires new rooms and new decisions, how visibility has become a leadership skill, and why emotional management is just as important as strategy. I also talk about core values, self-care as a strategic advantage, why overproductivity can actually slow recovery, and how delaying growth is a decision.
