Stand Tall & Own It - Equipping Purpose-Driven Leaders to Show Up with Authenticity and Courage
“Just be you,” they say. But for many high-achievers, “just being you” hasn’t always felt safe or practical—whether it’s at work, school, church, or even in leadership circles. For purpose-driven leaders, holding back can limit your impact and undermine your authenticity.
Even in workplaces that claim to value individuality, leading with confidence and conviction still takes courage. To lead with steadiness and clarity, you must first understand your values, embrace your individuality, and recognize that the solutions you need are as unique as you are.
Stand Tall & Own It is for modern leaders who want to lead with purpose, integrity, and courage—without sacrificing who they are. Each episode explores how to navigate challenges, make values-anchored decisions, and cultivate the discernment to think critically in a noisy world.
If you’re ready to explore your Core Values and lead with intention, check out my Core Values Blueprint and Core Values Coaching for practical tools to help you grow.

Episode 75 - Three Insights on Being Present
Feedback or Questions? Send us a text!
Two and a half years after my very first post on “Being Present,” I’ve learned a few things. Practicing Presence is not yet something I’ve mastered, and based on what I see out there, we all need a refresher. So here are my takeaways.
Three Insights on “Being Present”:
- Everyone’s Present is unique.
- Without curiosity, you’ll never get “there.”
- If being “present” doesn’t produce kindness in you, then you’re doing it wrong.
So what should we do?
- Unique: One size doesn’t fit all. Do your own work.
- Curiosity: Get curious about you. When you don’t like something, ask “why?” and wait…
- Kindness: It’s the byproduct of presence.
