Quick reminder from my morning hike.

The hill always looks bigger in our minds than it actually is once we start moving.
That’s true in leadership too.

We build things up. We overthink. We wait until we feel “more ready.”

Sometimes the most strategic thing you can do is move your body, clear your head, and take the next step anyway.

What’s one thing you can do today that supports you, not just your responsibilities?

A few weeks ago I started hearing from women who were excited about Ready for the Room but hadn`t quite committed yet. I get it, timing, budget, the general weight of having one more thing on the calendar.

So here`s what I`m doing. Five spots. Twenty-four hours. Whichever runs out first, the offer is gone. Use code READY25 at checkout.

If you`ve been thinking about it, this is your window. I`d love to have you in the room on March 20.

Registration link is in the comments.

A lot of frustration at work (and at home) comes down to one thing.

We expect… but we never actually agree.

Expectations don’t carry much weight without an agreement. If you want someone to deliver, get specific and make it mutual.

Try this:
“Can we agree that you’ll have X done by Y date?”
Then ask:
“Is there anything that could get in the way?”

And:
“If something changes, can I count on you to tell me early and come with a solution?”

When agreements are clear, accountability gets easier and resentment goes down.

Try it this week.

I probably shouldn`t be telling you this.

But I really do have a terrible track record with secrets and if you`ve read my book, you already know that about me.

There`s a sale coming tomorrow for Ready for the Room. Twenty-four hours. $25 off. First five women only.

That`s all I`m saying. Watch this space.

I once coached a woman who had expanded her scope every year. High-visibility initiatives. Strategic projects. Board-facing work.

And still, when the room felt high-stakes, she approached it like she was still earning the right to be there.

She either slipped into support mode. Or overcorrected into force. Neither reflected the leader she actually was.

Earning energy pulls leaders out of steadiness. It pulls you out of steadiness. Owning your leadership is quieter than most people expect.

It sounds like:
“I recommend…”
“Here’s the direction I suggest…”
“Let’s decide.”

Earning energy pulls leaders out of steadiness.

Ready for the Room is where we refine this shift in real time. If you love your work and are ready to lead it without subtle self-doubt running the show, this room is for you.
