As an Executive Coach, I have noticed a trend that is becoming louder as we get closer to the end of 2025. Even the most seasoned and confident leaders are questioning if they have what it takes to effectively lead their people and serve their customers as artificial intelligence transforms the landscape of work and life.

One thing is foresure, the way we have been traditionally leading needs to change in a profound way.

As a brain injury survivor, widow, and entrepreneur who has reinvented my own business Potential Unlimited (and continues to reinvent as change is the only constant), I understand what it means to successfully pivot.

I am so excited to share with you that I am launching a 6-week group online coaching program that will address the very heart of this leadership issue, providing support and tools to help leaders transition their style to position themselves and their organizations for success!! Here are the details!!

Have you noticed how effortlessly the leaves change color each fall?There’s no resistance. No hesitation. Just a quiet surrender to what is.

The trees don’t fight the shift — they release what they no longer need, trusting that growth will return in time. And yet for us as humans — especially as leaders — change can feel anything but effortless.

We crave certainty. It soothes our nervous system and gives us the comforting illusion that we’re in control. But today’s world offers anything but certainty.

AI is reshaping the future of work faster than we can keep up. Global and economic shifts are rewriting how we lead and live. And after years of collective upheaval, many leaders are simply tired — already maxed out, already managing so much.

But here’s the truth I’ve learned through my own journey of rebuilding after profound change:

👉 Change isn’t the enemy — our resistance to it is.

Have you ever felt like you are creating calm in the storm for others around you—while secretly feeling like you’re drowning inside? As leaders, we’re conditioned to be steady, composed, and always “on.” But the truth is, many of us carry the weight of impossible expectations, private doubts, and constant pressure.

As an Executive Coach, I want you to know leadership doesn’t just require us to create psychological safety for our teams—it requires us to create it within ourselves first.

My daughters and I recently volunteered as a Peer Mentor Family for Camp Kerry, a grief camp for young families who have experienced the loss of someone close in their immediate family, like we have with my daughter’s Dad and my Husband, Jeff. It was a weekend filled with raw emotion, courage, and connection.

At Camp Kerry, families are navigating tremendous pain—and yet what struck me most wasn’t the loss itself, but the space that was created for healing. A space where people felt safe to cry, to laugh, to share their stories without fear of judgment or shame.

It reminded me of something profound: whether in a grief camp, a family, or a corporate boardroom, psychological safety is what allows people to show up fully as themselves. It’s what allows healing to happen, innovation to spark, and trust to grow.

Let’s be honest — this kind of moment doesn’t come easy to me.

As a sole parent and entrepreneur of the Executive Coaching firm Potential Unlimited, I’m used to being the one holding it all together. The one who keeps going, even when the tank is running low. Rest? That used to feel like something I had to earn.

But here’s what I’ve come to realize:

You don’t have to earn your rest. You need it — because the world needs the best version of you.
