How to Reduce Internal Churn, and Why Itâs Different for Women
In case you missed my LIVE interview with the amazing Lauren Larson Diehl (Vice President, Global Customer Success at Reputation), here are a few of the wisdom gems she shared: Â
- You can have passion and purpose⌠or passion and persistence, but you really need all three, to build that solid foundation
- Be passionate about your customerâs success. Being good at that, and empowering teams to be good at that is the direct correlation to internal churn
- The fundamentals around having empathy, and how we refocus and harness that, and how do we operate more strategically⌠it's really never been more important
- Customer first? I believe it's people first. You need to invest in your people, in enabling and empowering them, and helping them to harness their capabilities. You invest in people, and then they will take care of your customers. And that's a direct and simple formula for navigating through churn
- It starts at the simp ...
Podcast Episode #99: "Part 2: Strategies to Lead in the New Normal" - an Interview with Amy Protexter
Part 2: Strategies to Lead in the New Normal
In case you missed my LIVE interview with the remarkable Amy Protexter (Senior Vice President, Marketing at Insight), here are a few of the wisdom gems she shared: Â
- Be willing to roll up your sleeves, learn about a different vertical that you might want to get into
- Be an avid learner, avid reader, figure things out, and then if youâre jumping into a new role with a different vertical, see how youâre able to translate your skills into how you can help that company
- One of the most necessary leadership skill sets going forward coming out of the last couple of years is empathy
- Itâs really about that deep listening, that empathetic approach, as a leader, I definitely think those are going to be skills that will be super important... theyâre things you sort of have to nurture in yourself
- You are the CEO of your own life. And if you think about your decisions (your why, where you want to be, and what you want to do) it gives people pause â ...
She Got the Raise, the Title, and the RespectâŚ
"She Got the Raise, the Title, and the RespectâŚ"
Are you owning your value enough?
If that question made you take a pause, itâs ok. Not voicing our value or owning our worth has happened to most of us at one time or another.
But, it doesnât have to.Â
According to DiversityWomen Media, âWomen are often less assertive than men in the workplace and tend to apologize or minimize the importance of what they say when they do speak up-even female executives in meetings with their peers.â
Part of the challenge is that owning our value is a counterculture for many of us.
That was the case for Sue (not her real name:), a 1:1 Limitless Leader client of mine who is a female senior executive in finance. She had a 30-minute call scheduled for her annual review. The call was actually 10 minutes (...her boss was 10 minutes late and left 10 minutes early.)Â
She was rated as âfar exceedsâ due to the growth of her line of business and progress on major (new) initiatives that sheâs now responsible for. âFar ex...
Spoken Over by Peers or Leadership?
Spoken Over by Peers or Leadership?
Have you ever found yourself as the âonlyâ in the room (or in the Zoom room)? According to the 2021 McKinsey Women in the Workplace Report, the pipeline for women in leadership is losing ground, and the frustration and emotional tax that goes along with feeling like youâre the âonlyâ adds to burn out and the resignation of our future female leaders.
Imagine if youâre a âdouble onlyâ. The only woman AND part of a group that is further marginalized within our gender. The flame of contribution, conscious capitalism, compassion, and invaluable perspective and knowledge is likely extinguished or dimmed even more rapidly.Â
Whether youâre an âonlyâ or a âdouble onlyâ, how can your voice be amplified even more for the greater good of our cultures, companies, and the women coming after us?
Letâs start with having a bigger voice at your next meeting or presentation and empowering our female colleagues to do the same.
From a human performance perspective, hereâs h...
Want to Feel More Calm, Confident and In Control?
Big News!
FREE Limitless Leader Community Lunch and Learn / Q&A on 1.27.22
If youâre feeling overwhelmed, not sleeping well, dropping off your routine or your productivity is tanking... the good news is that youâre normal!
The not-so-good news is that youâre allowing your light to be dimmed. (Woo woo translation: your purpose-driven goodness that you are able to put into our family, your company, and into the world is slowing down, and in some cases stopping altogether.)
Maybe youâre feeling stuck?Â
Not sure about a move to a new role, an internal shift where youâll challenge your leadership to âget on the busâ with a major initiative, or possibly going after a new board seat?
Purpose-driven clarity is like rocket fuel. It jolts you into action, honoring fear and doubt while not letting them get in the way of your progress.
To help you gain even greater purpose-driven clarity, Iâd like to share something crazy I did this month, and Iâm going to ask you to do the same.Â

There is Reason for Optimism in 2022
There is Reason for Optimism in 2022
I hope your year is off to a healthy, productive, and impactful start!
What do you love about what you do?
For me, I love being the guide so you, your team, or your colleagues can be the hero. While very aware of the importance of data, itâs not so exciting to me.
There was, however, some notable data that came out of 2021 that (I feel) is important for you to know, so we can learn and improve from it.
First, the "not so good news" uncovered from a pre-coaching assessment that was filled by the 10 female heart-centered leaders I was so honored to have worked with 1:1 in 2021 as well as the facilitations done for their managers and from the virtual speaking events that reached thousands.
- Female leaders are still feeling silenced, overlooked, and disregarded by their leadership.
- This is exacerbating overwhelm and burnout.
- Change is happening, but these inequities are not spoken about or addressed quick enough.
Iâd like to first ac...
Your Great Re-Design of 2022
Your Great Re-Design of 2022
Just like an ultra-marathoner, here we are. Weâve covered a ton of ground, have LOTS to be grateful for, touched many lives with our heart and accomplishments, climbed some big mountains, celebrated milestones, but we are tired.
As we likely sped past Hanukkah and now head into Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Yearâs, weâll cherish time with family, give gifts, give love, give time, give money to amazing causes and organizations, and (for my fellow Jewish Limitless Leader subscriber family), make and give lots of food, LOL!
But there is one thing that some of us may need to unapologetically receive, so we can re-design our upcoming year.
Time.
Time to pause.
Time to reflect.
Time to recharge...
...and time to plan for a year that weâd like to create. So, in the holiday spirit, I invite you to gift yourself some time alone to do just that.
Yes, before we map out our personal and professional goals, it may be a good time to just âbe.â You see, if we do not slow down to t...
Two Ways to Get Clear on What Really Matters in 2022
Two Ways to Get Clear on What Really Matters in 2022
Do you ever get distracted or veer from whatâs most important? Maybe youâre too overwhelmed to think about it, or youâre not even clear on what it is anymore! If so, youâre definitely not alone. Maybe itâs time to course-correct and get more strategic about the year you want to have and the impact youâre going to create in 2022âŚ
This has certainly been a year of reflection, and itâs the perfect time to get clear on what matters most to you, how youâd like to achieve it, and how youâd like to feel in the process.
Maybe youâre so busy that you donât have time to make a shift, or you are not sure where to start. As we wind up the year, here are a couple of things that might help create the impact you want and deserve on your terms.
Consider that goals are not just about your career, such as meeting/exceeding projections, having more influence with leadership, and driving initiatives. There are important pre-steps to launch to your impact,...
Sharing an Attitude of Gratitude / Special Announcement
Sharing an Attitude of Gratitude / Special Announcement
I hope the upcoming holiday will be a safe and joyous time for you and your loved ones. Just a reminder (I remind myself often too!), even in challenging times, we all have things to be grateful for, be they big or small. Focusing on our gratitude helps keep our stress levels lower and makes our celebrations even more special!
Grateful for YOU!
Iâd like to express how deeply grateful I am for YOU and my Limitless Leader community! You have something SO special and unique placed within you, and itâs a real honor to provide content, tools, and resources to help you access what is already there!
Itâs my sincere hope you will rest well over the holidays, so your reverence, hope and action for 2022 will be epic.
âOne person can change the world.â
- Rosa Parks
Your voice is needed now more than ever, and I truly believe that one person CAN change the world. Can you imagine what we can do collectively?!
Grateful to give!
Along those lines, Iâd ...
