  1. It's not what you say that matters

    It's not what you say that matters

    “What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.” ~Emerson One of the basic tenets of most parenting advice is that kids will do what you do, not what you tell them to do. If you yell and scream when angry, they’ll be more likely to yell and scream when angry (even when you tell them not to). If you talk about people behind their backs, they’ll be more likely to talk about people behind their backs (even when you tell them not to). And conversely, if you recover from mistakes and setbacks without berating yourself or others in the process, they’ll be more likely to handle mistakes and setbacks without shame and self-blame. We know this to be true, whether we’re parents or not. (and we hate this is true when our kid does something that we KNOW came from us. extra ugh) What we forget is that it’s just as true at work with our colleagues, team members and clients, as it is at home with our kids. Listen in to learn how this translates at work.    Recommended Resources: The Leadership Reset -- begins November 26th!   Join the Notion for Leaders newsletter Read the full Leadership Letters version here Subscribe to get weekly Leadership Letters Check out LEAD.Well – a community of practice for women who want to be better, braver leaders Book a complimentary call with me

    What's obvious to you may not be to everyone else

    Hello Captain Obvious! Four years. Or maybe longer because to be honest, I’ve lost track. Let’s just go with four years. That’s how long I’ve been using Notion to power my…well, everything. Now before you non-Notion users delete this message, I promise it’s not really about Notion. Notion plays a secondary role in my repeat performance of, “Captain Obvious, starring Steph.” This isn’t really about Notion, the tool. It’s about Notion, the idea. This week I launched the first issue of Notion for Leaders — a newsletter for leaders who want to leverage the power of Notion to keep them connected to what matters most. It’s a true labour of love, and the perfect intersection for my amibitions around both Notion AND leadership. But I can’t help but reflect on the fact that it took me four years to launch something. Listen in to hear what became so obvious.   Recommended Resources: Join the Notion for Leaders newsletter Read the full Leadership Letters version here Subscribe to get weekly Leadership Letters Derek Sivers on “Obvious to you.

    BONUS Crossover Episode - Intro to Rest

    Welcome to this special crossover episode!  Today I bring you an episode of The Happier Approach - an amazing podcast by my dear friend, Nancy Jane Smith.  She invited me to her show to kick off a new series about rest, and I thought you'd enjoy it too!  We talk about the different kinds of rest, why the pandemic really shook up our understanding of rest and hustle, and how tricky it can be to give ourselves permission to rest -- even when we know we need it.  You can find Nancy's podcast here.

    Great leaders demonstrate these 5 traits

    What makes a great leader? You don’t have to look far to find any number of think pieces and social posts declaring the strategies, tactics and traits leaders need to develop and grow to be effective. Today, I’m wading into this conversation with the five traits I’ve come to believe are critical to help leaders lead well. Here they are at-a-glance: A willingess to interogate their own thinking, beliefs and assumptions. A belief that there is enough success and opportunity to go around. A curiosity-over-certainty approach to problem-solving and conflict. An ability to stay humble while also championing their work publicly. A commitment to continued practice and personal development. Listen in as I dive into each trait in more depth.   Recommended Resources: Recommended Resources: Check out LEAD.Well – a community of practice for women who want to be better, braver leaders Join the conversation on LinkedIn here Shine Theory Book a complimentary call with me The world needs your leadership

    #106 - Be the author of your own ambition

    If I’m honest, a big reason I got (and have stayed) off Instagram since June 2020 is because I’m easily influenced by other’s ambitions. As I would scroll my feed, passively watching post after post go by of someone’s perfectly curated version of success, I’d find myself wanting things I hadn’t ever considered wanting or second-guessing the plans and desires I’d already thought were iron clad. It took me way too long to realize that spending time engaging in other people’s plans inevitably warped my own, leaving me in idea limbo more times than I’d like to admit. Finally, I decided I’d had enough. Maybe it was the clarifying effects of the pandemic or perhaps it was just the compounding impact of Instagram’s algorithms, but on June 17, 2020 I posted for the last time. And in that moment, I made a commitment to act on my own ambitions by doing all that I could to reduce the noise and influence of everyone else’s. I haven’t looked back (well, mostly). Has it helped you might wonder? Listen in to hear more. Enjoy the episode.    Recommended Resources: Join LEAD.Well – a community of practice for women who want to be better, braver everyday leaders A behind-the-scenes look at LEAD.Well Book a complimentary call with me The world needs your leadership "Good for her, not for me."
