You’re never too old to be surprised by your mom, daughter, baby bro, son in-law, and almost-birthday-twin hubby. Bonus: Mom remembers red velvet cake is your brother’s favorite cake, not yours. 💙💙💙 Feeling loved and so darn blessed!

I voted! 🇺🇸🗳️ We may not always agree on the issues, the candidates, or even our values. But here’s something we can agree on: We each have a voice, a vote, and the right to use both. Make your voice heard!

A leader recently asked me how to succeed when working with so many different personalities. I loved the question. Effective leadership isnʼt about getting others to work like you. It's about understanding their styles, adapting your approach, and building trust.

When the pressure is on, is your instinct to push harder? Gallup found that the coping strategies that come naturally to us aren’t always the ones that help us most. Sometimes the most productive thing we can do is pause and ask: “What matters most right now?” #Leadership

Earlier this week: 3 ways to strengthen your relationship with your boss. Now let’s flip it. Managers: show up, listen to understand, and invest in your people’s growth. Strong workplace relationships go both ways. #Leadership

Giving someone authority isn’t the same as empowering them. When things go wrong, do you step in with blame or curiosity & support? Trust & psychological safety are built in these everyday leadership moments. What does your team need most from you today? Photo via @GiffordT
