Hi There, Reader, Mastering Hard Conversations Let’s talk about boundaries, the quiet superpower of great leaders. Strong boundaries aren’t barriers. They’re clarity.

True leadership means showing others where the line is, and doing it with kindness and confidence. Boundaries protect your energy, build respect,...

Hi, Reader, Yes, I want Coaching! Mastering Hard Conversations Too many leaders open tough conversations with “I’m sorry…” even when there’s nothing to apologize for. ➡️ “Sorry, can I give you some feedback?”➡️ “Sorry, but I have to bring this up…”➡️ “Sorry if this is uncomfortable…” Sound familiar?
