Have you gone into a meeting feeling like you could really help, be a 'Hero' maybe? But then no one listened or cared, so you ended up feeling like a 'Victim' instead?

Have you ever gone into a meeting ready to share your thoughts but ended up leaving feeling like no one listened to you?
It happens all the time, that sense of starting out feeling like you're going to be a hero only to come out feeling like a victim.
Does this sound familiar?

💪 Coach (instead of Hero) – Helps others grow through guidance
💡 Creator (instead of Victim) – Focuses on possibilities rather than limitations.
🫵 Challenger (instead of Villain) – Provides constructive feedback rather than blame.

Many of our workplace struggles fit into the Drama Triangle (Hero, Victim, Villain). Each role has its own pitfalls: heroes burn out, victims feel powerless, and villains create toxic environments...

Hiring processes are broken, the issue isn’t a lack of talent. It’s that we’re asking the wrong questions, measuring the wrong things, and filtering out the very people who could take our teams to the next level.

Great leaders don’t stick to one leadership style - they adapt.
Goleman’s 6 styles (authoritative, democratic, coaching, etc.) show flexibility is key. You can read more here: https://buff.ly/4goujLa 👀

What’s one small way you can lead yourself with the same care and intention you offer others?

With all the focus on Valentine’s Day this week, there’s plenty of talk about connection, appreciation, and care—for others. But what if you turned some of that attention inward?
The truth is, self-care, self-love, and self-empathy aren’t indulgent; they’re essential leadership practices. (thread)👇

These moments remind me why I step on stage. Not just sharing insights, it’s about unlocking something in people that they didn’t realize was missing...

Leaders often confuse busyness with progress, but busyness rarely leads to meaningful work. Strategic thinking requires discipline, not endless action, so focus your energy on high-impact decisions instead.

Here's the kicker, stepping away from the “fixer” mindset that your brain is wired to be isn’t about doing less... It’s about doing differently.
Understanding the problem before you act can lead to stronger solutions, deeper connections, and a better outcome for everyone.

Big wins get the spotlight, but it’s the small, consistent actions that truly shape our lives...
Consistency doesn’t demand perfection. It asks for persistence. A little, done regularly, beats a lot, done once.
Remember, progress isn’t about grand gestures—it’s about showing up, day after day.
