I just saw the the recent release of the PIxar movie, Toy Story 5 - and I couldn't stop making leadership connections (as I tend to do). In this episode, I walk through all five Toy Story films and trace the arc of Woody's leadership evolution from ego-driven insecurity in 1995 to quietly showing up without needing the spotlight in 2026. Along the way, I share where I was in my own life and career at the release of each movie, because leadership development isn't a moment - it's a journey that unfolds over decades.

Whether you've seen every film or none of them, this episode is really about you: your growth, your identity shifts, your releases, and the chapters you've opened and closed.

Enjoy!

I was not expecting a leadership masterclass at my daughter's high school graduation...but that's exactly what I got! Three student speakers took the stage and delivered some of the most honest, human leadership wisdom I've heard in a long time. In this episode, I'm walking you through three lessons from those speeches and connecting them to what I see every single day in my work with leaders.
Lesson one: try new things - readiness is largely a myth, and you build the skill by doing the thing, not by waiting until you're ready.
Lesson two: success is not a solo sport - the goal was never to win by yourself, and if you want a support system, you have to be one first.
Lesson three: love the process - even the boring days, the hard days, the in-between days, because those are the ones that add up.

These aren't new concepts. But sometimes the truth lands differently when it comes from someone who hasn't had time to overcomplicate it yet.

Self-trust is one of the most foundational skills in leadership — and one of the most overlooked. In this episode, I'm unpacking what self-trust actually is, how it's different from confidence, and why it's often the hidden root cause beneath the challenges leaders bring into coaching.

I share seven ways to build self-trust, from taking action and learning to recognize your own voice, to naming your inner critic, releasing perfectionism, and becoming open to receiving. This isn't a checklist — it's an invitation into some of the most important inner work you can do as a leader.

If you've been working on your confidence and it's not sticking, this episode is for you.
