All Team Members are Leaders

All Team Members are Leaders

Today’s blog is inspired by a conversation I just had with my cohost, Mery, on our podcast, Coachtaku.

(If you haven’t checked out Coachtaku yet, I highly recommend it. It's about making anime your new life coach. We go into the lexicon of amazing anime – both retro and current – and point to the life coaching themes that occur in these shows. We even offer some coaching pointers to some of the characters, as if they existed in real life. It's amazing.)

The way coaching and animate transitioned into leadership coaching, this week, was during the recording of an episode around coaching teams. Specifically, how do you elevate the voices of every single member of your team?

Your Values Will Guide Your Results

Your Values Will Guide Your Results

Today’s’ blog is inspired by a real conversation that I had with a client about her core values.

I’m going to share a bit about our session. Keeping confidentially in mind, I’ll share the logistics of the experience but leave out the personal details. We’re going to talk about why values are important as well as why knowing your values is really important.

Bringing Celebration to Leadership

Bringing Celebration to Leadership

Let’s talk about appreciation and celebration and why they matter.

We associate celebrating with things like birthday parties, weddings, and life events. We don’t associate celebrating with the appreciation of things in our daily lives.

Is that a weird suggestion for a leadership coach to make? Well, my assertion is that celebration and appreciation are even more important in leadership development.

When You Don’t Feel Like It

When You Don’t Feel Like It

Let’s talk about feelings versus commitments.

Specifically, what does it mean to choose from our feelings versus to choose from our commitments?

This is a really appropriate topic for me, this week, since I almost didn’t write anything because of how I'm feeling. I’m going to use myself as an example to talk about feelings and commitments and where we choose from. We’ll also talk about applying this concept to yourself.

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you’ve seen the teaser for my brand-new podcast that I’m co-hosting: Coachtaku.

What Amoeba Tag Can Teach Leaders

What Amoeba Tag Can Teach Leaders

Most people know how to play Tag. I tag you, you're it, I get to run around. Tag me, I'm it, you get to run around. Amoeba Tag is a fun adaptation of the classic game, where once I tag you, rather than running off, we're now linked together.

Why I Love What I Do

Why I Love What I Do

My Facebook feed recently reminded me that I had reached the 4-year anniversary of the first time I posted my Hear Her Roar branding. It left me sentimental, grateful, and thinking about why I love what I do.

I am incredibly lucky to have been doing what I love for nearly 5 years.

Inviting ALL Types of Feedback

Inviting ALL Types of Feedback

I want to talk about the importance of allowing for all types of feedback, in whatever space you're in.

I’m not talking about just creating an environment where everything you hear is positive all the time, but purposefully allowing for some of the negative or less savory feedback to come out.

Flocks vs. Packs

Flocks vs. Packs

Who doesn’t love a good animal metaphor?

This week, I want to talk about leading teams through the lens of pack mentality. Specifically, I want to share some differences between sheep and wolves. I’ll then tie these differences back into leadership.

Ask Me About Your Gremlin

Ask Me About Your Gremlin

Two months ago, I launched the Leadership Gremlin Quiz: A free resource to provide some whimsy and wisdom to your leadership development. I created the quiz with two goals in mind: 1) Appeal to anyone who loves a good personality quiz, and 2) Develop a way for someone to create awareness around the strengths and weaknesses of their current leadership style.

Leaving Your Mark

Leaving Your Mark

Sometimes when I sit down to write or film, I am completely stumped.

When that happens, I tend to get into my head and freak out a bit. What sometimes help me, in these moments, is doing a card reading.

What Happens When You Gain Power

What Happens When You Gain Power

You may have noticed that I decided not to post a blog last week. I made that decision for a very particular reason. If you live in the United States, you know about the current movements activated around social and racial justice. Last week, as a stand in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, I decided to mute myself.

Commitment Isn’t Magic

Commitment Isn’t Magic

The thing about commitment is that you likely will have a hard time seeing how it relates to results in the area where you feel stuck… because you are stuck. To get un-stuck, it’s helpful to look at commitment in an area of your life that you feel is working to really see the relationship.
