Are we isolating our leaders too much?
Today the U.S. is inaugurating one of the most emotionally stunted, self-absorbed leaders most of us have ever witnessed. Why? There are lots of reasons, but I want to talk about one in particular - the way our culture tends to isolate leaders and expect them to perform a certain authority and confidence even when they’re not sufficiently equipped, resourced, or supported. Watch the video for some of my thoughts on this.
Our new program starts this week!
We’re getting set to start our new program, Leadership for Liminal Spaces, which is our response to what I address in the video - the isolation and lack of emotional support for leaders. If you offer any kind of leadership - formal or informal - we hope you’ll consider joining us.
There will be 10 webinars throughout 2025 and each webinar will be followed by a 3 week study group where we’ll go deeper with the topic and connect with others facing similar challenges. (You can sign up for individual webinars, or join us for the whole year of learning and connection.)
Learn more on our website and please share this with any colleagues or friends who might benefit from this learning and community support. Our first webinar is Thursday, January 30th.
Check out our website refresh!
We’re doing some clean-up and refreshing of our website and would love to have you visit. We’ve got lots of free resources available and a number of self-study courses, plus a few brand new pages, including our page on consulting and keynotes. Also, did you know that we have a coaching team who’d love to work with you? If any of what we offer might be of value to your friends or colleagues, please share it with them!
