Listen "What Do You Actually Stand For? Build Your 5 Leadership Non-Negotiables"
Episode Synopsis
If someone asked you, "What do you stand for?" - could you answer without hesitation? In this episode, I'm walking you through a simple reflection exercise to help you identify your five leadership non-negotiables - the core values and principles that define how you lead, no matter what. By the end, you'll have total clarity on what you believe in, what you'll fight for, and how to lead with conviction at work, at home, and in your community. You'll also hear a personal story about how I redefined my own values after hitting a major crossroads - and how that clarity became the foundation for my leadership and my business today. If you're ready to lead with confidence, clarity, and conviction, this episode is for you. Grab my free 5-Year Vision Worksheet, which includes my list of 105 core values and step-by-step instructions to help you define yours. It's the same tool I use with all my coaching clients - and it's my gift to you.
