In a world where layoff parties and vibrant goodbyes are replaced by Zoom calls, it's crucial for leaders to be conscious and integrated. Prioritizing inquiry over advocacy, leaders must use themselves as instruments to truly support others. It starts with you.
Do you consider yourself lucky? Lucky Nicky, my friend, always found the perfect parking spot wherever we went. I couldn't believe it until I discovered that you can actually learn to be lucky.

2020 shattered our expectations, forcing us to confront chaos. Initially resisting, I craved control. But surrendering to uncertainty, I found joy in unexpected moments. Embracing the unknown, we created a new normal. Alchemy lies in transforming chaos into something better. Leaders must face reality, hold diverse perspectives, and shape the future. Inquire, be present, and focus on the next step. By cultivating curiosity and gratitude, we can alchemize chaos into beauty.
Leadership during periods of chaos and change requires self-regulation and a focus on connection. Leaders must keep themselves centered and grounded to access their full intelligence and problem-solving abilities. By creating a space for people to be heard and seen, leaders can foster a sense of connection and support, even in the face of physical distance. The power of being witnessed should not be underestimated—it can be a transformative experience in times of uncertainty.
