One of the biggest leadership mistakes I see is believing that influence comes from having all the answers.

It doesn't.

Influence comes from trust.

You can't delegate trust. You can't outsource relationships. And you can't expect people to follow someone they don't know.

The leaders who create the strongest teams aren't necessarily the smartest person in the room. They're the ones who make people feel seen, heard, and valued.

The simplest leadership habit you can build is to become more curious about the people around you.

Ask questions.
Listen longer.
Learn what motivates your team.
Share a little more of yourself.

Leadership isn't about protecting your image. It's about creating connection.

Because when people know you, they're much more likely to trust you. And trust is what moves teams forward.

What's one simple thing you do to build stronger relationships with your team?

I remember the first time I read Toni Morrison's Beloved. Late night, college apartment, a stack of other assigned books glaring at me from the desk.

I couldn't move past her sentences. Words chosen that carefully can stop you cold.

That night started a lifelong habit: paying attention not just to what words mean, but what they do.

Recently I caught myself calling something "summer break." Then I realized: what I actually needed wasn't a break. It was a brake.

By the time Katelyn Good ⛸ stepped onto World Championship ice, she had already skated her program hundreds of times without moving a muscle. Every edge, every landing, every breath. Her body was just catching up to a performance her brain had already decided was real.

Fifteen years later, she teaches Olympians, founders, and executive teams the same thing she learned at center ice: the biggest limit on your career isn't your skill or your effort. It's the version of yourself you've been rehearsing.

In this closing session, Kate shows you how to find the beliefs that have been quietly running your career, and how to rewrite them using one of the most powerful tools your brain has: visualization.

Then she puts it to work, guiding the room through a live visualization where you get clear on the leader you're becoming - what she believes, how she carries herself, what she does next.

What does "success" actually mean once you stop measuring it by someone else's yardstick?

Tracee Quinnell, VP of Human Resources at Liberty Energy, is joining our "Worth It: Redefining Success" panel at Time to Lead Houston to dig into exactly that question.

This isn't a highlight reel conversation. It's an honest one about what it really takes to build a life you're proud of.

My friend told me something last week that I haven't been able to shake:

"Let's face it, everyone, ultimately, will find themselves living in a two-bedroom condo."

I'm downsizing right now. Smaller house, smaller yard, no more spa tub. And even though this move genuinely reflects my values, not my insecurities, it still messed with my head.

Here's the question underneath it: are you measuring your success against your own values, or against everyone else's highlight reel?

This week's blog is about the scoreboard we didn't agree to play on - and how to trade it in for one that fits.

The leaders I coach are some of the smartest people I know.

They solve complex problems. Lead high-performing teams. Make tough decisions with incomplete information. Navigate constant change.

But here's what I see time and time again...

They'll spend hours solving everyone else's challenges while putting their own leadership questions on the back burner.

The difficult conversation they've been avoiding.
The limiting belief that's holding them back.
The habit that's keeping them from leading at the next level.

It's hard to create space to think strategically about yourself when everyone else is depending on you.

That's why executive coaching matters.

Not because you need someone to give you the answers, but because you need the time, perspective, and accountability to solve the most important leadership challenge in front of you: your own growth.

The strongest leaders don't have all the answers.

They make time to ask themselves better questions.

Not to brag, but I've got some powerhouse collaborators.

Stephanie Cox, former SLB president and CEO of Wood Group Americas, is one of them. Last week we sat down to design a new leadership course, and our conversation kept circling one word: power.

Specifically, why so many senior leaders are uncomfortable using it. They hesitate to ask more of their people. They avoid the hard, unpopular calls. They stay quiet when speaking up is exactly what the moment requires.

In the Marines, we had a call sign for the commanding officer: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹. When things went sideways, you got on the radio and asked for The Actual - the one who drives action, gets resources, and makes the call. No wavering.

It's not about faking confidence. It's an ideal you step into when the moment demands it. Beyoncé had Sasha Fierce. Kobe had the Black Mamba.

This week: where are you selling yourself short? What does being "The Actual You" require?
