Beyond Age: Creating an Inclusive Workplace for All Generations
As leaders, it's important for us to create inclusive and respectful work environments for all employees. Unfortunately, ageism is a form of discrimination that often goes unnoticed. Ageism is defined as prejudice or discrimination based on age, and it can take many forms in the workplace. In this newsletter, we'll discuss how to identify ageism, how it impacts those close to retirement, what to do when faced with ageism, and provide recommendations on how to deal with it.

Uniquely You.
Everyone always says “be yourself,” but what does that really mean?
As leaders, we are often taught to emulate, assimilate, and conform. We need to fit in and act like successful leaders around us to achieve our goals.
This is where your unique identity comes in. Your unique identity is like your fingerprint, and what makes you uniquely you.

Unlock Your Leadership Potential: Discover the Practices That Can Help You Achieve Real Results
As a successful executive, I have found that there are certain practices that have helped me achieve my goals. These practices have been outlined by Peter Drucker, aka the father of modern management, and I believe they are essential for effective leadership. In this newsletter, I will elaborate on each of these practices and explain how they can be applied to your own leadership style.

If You Fear, Make it Work for You!
I was recently reading the book “Do it Scared” by Ruth Soukup and was compelled to reflect on the fear we often experience as leaders. It could be the concern about psychological safety in speaking up or confidence in the value recognized by the contributions we make.
As someone who has held leadership positions for several decades, I know firsthand how scary it can be to make decisions that have real consequences. There have been moments where my fear almost overwhelmed me, but I've learned that it's important to push through that fear and take action anyway.

What are you looking for?
Often when we think or talk about burnout, we focus on the triggers, symptoms, and tools to avoid or manage it. That may look different for different people, and the symptoms may get more extreme if you don’t take a different course of action (i.e. take a break!). These symptoms may be stress (physical or mental), fatigue, trouble sleeping, physical pains, distraction or trouble focusing, and many more.
This week instead of talking about how to identify burnout and what do to when you are experiencing it (because let’s be real avoiding it is pretty unrealistic), I wanted to talk about another symptom of burnout that we often ignore.

In the ditch
When we often talk about our life, career journeys, and lessons learned, we focus on the peaks and skip over the valleys.
It’s natural not to dwell on the challenges we have experienced, even when the most potent lessons sometimes lie in those valleys.
However, whether you are on a peak or valley, you will experience the reverse. Things will not go as planned and there will be challenges, disappointment, and loss. Those challenging times will also pass and you’ll find yourself on the other side as reminded by the saying “This too shall pass.”
