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.

VISION is currently stated in the tenets of Intentional Optimism as: I courageously look to the vision I've been given to meet others' needs and add value, inspiring those around me. In today’s episode, I share my renewed insights about having a vision, and how you can create YOUR own vision in life or business, and why it’s vital to your flourishing.
Three Insights on Vision:
- Discovering your vision takes courage
- Participating in a vision board workshop opened me up to new ideas and possibilities
- A vision gives us something to look forward to and work towards
How to find and create your vision?
- What: Plan the future with imagination and wisdom
- Why: To find your “why,” ask yourself - do you day dream? If not, prime that pump.
- How: See your destination and then plan how to get there
