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.

In 2024, I've been guesting on various podcasts, which has been an enlightening journey. Not only am I discovering how to apply my knowledge across different areas, but I've also lined up at least four upcoming episodes where I'll delve into applying Core Values principles in specific fields like parenting, marketing/branding, and intergenerational relationships. Stay tuned for those in August
In this episode, I'm excited to share some of the most thought-provoking and transformative questions posed by these podcasters—questions that I believe everyone should be asking themselves
My six favorite questions are:
- What is the one hobby that you wish you had gotten into?
- What do you love about living life?
- What are your 3 pillar philosophies that you've followed throughout your life?
- How do you want your personal and professional legacy to be determined?
- How do you give yourself grace?
- What is the last and most important thing you want people to hear?
