Servant leaders lead by serving others first. ♥️
Listen deeply. Be present. Empathize. Support without controlling. Believe in people.
I’ve found we’re happiest and most successful when we help others grow. Who’s been a great servant leader in your life?

Try this: put up photos of your board, execs, or speakers, and really look.
Do they all look...similar?
Bias and lookism often shape who we elevate, without us realizing it. 👀

What if you really, really, rrreeeaaallllyyy don’t want to return to the office? 🙅🏽‍♀️

Well…here’s what I think.

#LeadBigger #RTO #WorkFromHome

Trying new things sometimes feels like psyching yourself out.

Case in point: 2012. On a horse. Petrified. 🐎

But discomfort is often a sign you’re expanding. Even when your nerves try to convince you otherwise.

#LeadBigger #TryNewThings

Potential is dynamic. ✨
“High potential” isn’t a lifetime label, and missing it doesn’t mean you can’t grow.
Bigger leaders define expectations clearly, evolve them openly, and treat growth as a journey, not a title. 🚀

Tired of meetings that could have been emails? 📆

Here’s my advice.

🧠 A #LeadBigger guide to psychological safety for your team:

• Listen to and understand your people
• Look inward
• Model vulnerability
• Respect differences
• Make failure safe to discuss
• Learn from losses
• Give future-focused feedback

How do you build psychological safety for your team?

When I left AT&T, people kept asking about my “retirement.”
The word never felt right...so I coined the term rewirement instead.
Not stopping. Just rewiring what’s next. 🔌✨
What does rewirement look like in this era of your life?

How do you know a workplace isn’t inclusive?

It doesn’t feel safe.
It doesn’t feel warm.
It doesn’t feel like you belong.

Inclusive teams feel human, growth-oriented, and safe to speak up. That’s leadership. ❤️✨

Core values ≠ aspirational values.

Core values shape today’s culture.
Aspirational values point to who you’re becoming.

Bigger leaders are honest about both and intentional about the gap.

#LeadBigger

RTO mandates: OUT. 🟥
Purposeful presence: IN. 🟢

Productivity ≠ how fast you respond to an email.

Availability isn’t the same as impact. Bigger leaders measure outcomes, not inbox speed, and rethink what “commitment” really looks like.

#LeadBigger #Productivity

It’s easy to focus on what you do.
Great leaders focus on why it matters.
Purpose doesn’t need buzzwords. Just clarity and honesty.
That’s how you create belief, not just buy-in. ✨

#LeadBigger #Purpose

Profit and purpose aren’t opposites. They’re partners. Dove’s rise shows that when business goals align with social good, both thrive. When people connect to your mission, performance follows. 💡

I used to bring my laptop on every vacation. 💻☀️
I thought it showed commitment. But it just built burnout.
True leadership means modeling balance. Rest isn’t a reward. It’s a requirement. 🌊

What's the connection between inclusion and employee well-being?

Let’s stop saying “we’re like family at work.” 🛑
Workplaces aren’t families. They’re teams built on trust, respect, & camaraderie.
That’s how we create real belonging, without blurring boundaries. 💬

Exhausted at work but not from overwork? 😮‍💨 You might have boreout.

Boreout = underutilized potential + lack of purpose.

Leaders: preventing burnout isn’t enough. We need to design work that challenges & fulfills.

“Life is an optimization equation.” 📊

You can’t do it all at once. But you can choose what matters most:
1️⃣ Define your priorities.
2️⃣ Let them guide your choices.
3️⃣ Accept the consequences.

You can have it all. Just not all at the same time. 🌱

🌍 Religious diversity is often overlooked in the workplace. Bigger leaders can start here:

✨ Avoid casual religious phrases in meetings.
✨ Check calendars for religious conflicts.
✨ Sponsor interfaith employee groups.

Small steps → big benefit and belonging. 💡

The greatest leader that I have ever known is my dad. He taught me countless lessons just by being. One of my life's mantras comes from his inspiration..."To be good, you must do good for good". Miss you, Dad. Every day. I hope you're winning lots of bridge games in Heaven. 🙏 🕊️

Why do we say “working moms” but not “working dads”? 🤔

Old norms taught women to hide being mothers at work. Bigger leaders challenge those norms and build workplaces where our family roles don't discount our commitment. 🌍

Back in the day, “happy hours” felt mandatory 🍷.

Now? Gen Z drinks less than any generation before them.
Leaders: let’s evolve our gatherings. Belonging ≠ alcohol. 🌱

PS: My old trick? Show up late, grab a tonic water, loop the room, leave in an hour. ✅
