|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6/3/26 | ![]() Vagueness is Mean | "I've mentioned it. I've been consistent about this. Why isn't it landing?" It sounds like patience. It sounds like leadership that respects the other person's capability. It sounds like giving someone the space to correct course on their own. So why are you not getting the result you're expecting? In this episode, I share the story of a senior team member I'll call Lily and what I had to learn, through real trial and error, about what a coaching conversation requires. Not a single mention. N... | 17m 38s | ||||||
| 5/26/26 | ![]() A Meeting Without a Result Isn't a Meeting. It's an Interruption with a Calendar Invite. | "We need to schedule a meeting about this." It sounds like initiative. It sounds like collaboration. It sounds like a leader who keeps her team moving. Sometimes it's a very organized way of not moving at all. In this episode, I share two stories from my own experience — one from my late twenties, when I accidentally ran the best volunteer committee meeting of my life, and one from a project team I've been co-chairing for several years. Both taught me the same thing, thirty years ... | 14m 13s | ||||||
| 5/20/26 | ![]() Hire for Results, Not Potential | "She has so much potential. I just have a good feeling about her." It sounds like leadership. It sounds like generosity. It isn't. In this episode, I share a client story about a leader who hired the most energetic person in the room and spent the next three months doing two jobs. And a story from my own early career, sitting on a hiring panel at a post-secondary institution, watching a room of intelligent people convince themselves that enthusiasm was enough to teach and that we could ... | 17m 01s | ||||||
| 5/13/26 | ![]() You Think You’re Being Understanding. Your Team Calls It Favouritism. | You’ve heard it. You’ve probably said it. “I’m meeting people where they are.” It sounds like compassion. It sounds like the kind of leader you’re trying to be. In this episode, I share what happened with a client who runs a plumbing and heating business with her husband. He pulled her aside one Tuesday afternoon and told her the team thought she was playing favourites. She thought she was meeting people where they were. The four people in her back office had been guessing for two years... | 13m 43s | ||||||
| 5/6/26 | ![]() Magical Thinking Is Expensive Comfort | "I just need to give it more time." It sounds like patience. It sounds like fairness. It sounds like the kind of measured leadership you're supposed to model. And yet it isn't. In this episode, I share the story of a community committee I stayed on four months longer than I should have while telling myself a different story every single month. It was a pattern I lived from the inside, until a very patient friend sat across from me and named it out loud. This episode names the pattern clearly:... | 11m 13s | ||||||
| 4/29/26 | ![]() You Don't Have a Boundary Problem. You Have a Wish Problem. | Have you ever said: "I'm really trying to be better about work-life balance." It sounds like a boundary. It sounds like leadership. It sounds like the kind of honest, self-aware thing we're all supposed to say when we're trying to change. Well, it isn't. In this episode, I share the story of Carla, a leader who said the right words, meant every one of them, and watched nothing change. Why? Because what she was expressing wasn't a boundary. It was a wish. And the people around her, ratio... | 19m 39s | ||||||
| 4/22/26 | ![]() “We’re like a family here” is the Biggest Red Flag in Business. | "We're like a family here." I spent 18 years inside a family-owned business saying those words. Believing them. I thought I was building culture and leading with care. I thought that was exactly the kind of leader I was supposed to be. I was wrong. In this episode, I share what I learned from the inside — 18 years of believing the family premise, then carrying it forward into my own leadership, and then having to unlearn all of it when I finally saw what it was doing to the people I was leadi... | 16m 56s | ||||||
| 4/15/26 | ![]() The Slow Boil of Mediocrity Is Killing Your Business Every Time You Settle for Less Than Great | "I should be grateful for the help." It's likely you've said this either to yourself or aloud to a confidante. It sounds like perspective, like a reasonable expectation. It sounds like the kind of grounded, non-perfectionistic leadership we're all supposed to model. Well I'm about to offer a different perspective. In this episode, I share Amanda's story rooted in three years of accepting 75%, fixing the other 25% herself, and calling it realistic. Then Shalini arrived. And the gap that ... | 18m 15s | ||||||
| 4/11/26 | ![]() Delegation Without Follow-Up Isn't Delegation. It's Hope. | You've probably expressed your desire not to micromanage. I get it. It sounds like trust. It sounds like empowerment. It sounds like the kind of confident leadership that gives people room to grow. It isn't. In this episode, I share Paula's story — four words, one upset client, and a Friday afternoon that unraveled a week of assumed alignment. Then I tell you mine. Twice. Because I learned the delegation lesson the hard way with Calvin (who you heard about in last week's episode), and then ma... | 16m 45s | ||||||
| 4/11/26 | ![]() Why Avoiding Hard Conversations Makes You A Worse Leader | "I don't want to make things worse." This sounds like wisdom. It sounds like care. It sounds like the kind of emotionally intelligent leadership we're all supposed to practice. It isn't. In this episode, I share the story of the missed deadline that taught me one of the most important lessons of my career, not because the work didn't get done, but because of what Calvin said when I finally asked him why. Not a theory. A pattern I lived from the inside including the cringe-worthy moment when I... | 16m 26s | ||||||

| 4/11/26 | ![]() You're Burnt Out Because You're Playing By Rules That Were Designed to Exhaust You | How many times have you said: "I just need to find the right way to say this so nobody feels uncomfortable." It sounds like empathy. It sounds like self-awareness. It sounds like the emotional intelligence good leaders are supposed to have. It isn't. In this episode, I share the story of Lisa, a senior leader with ten years in her role, a growing client base, and an exhaustion she couldn't explain. Then I tell you why. Her male colleague made the same decision she did. His was called leadersh... | 18m 05s | ||||||
| 4/11/26 | ![]() I'm Back... Along with The 15 Permissions | I have all the content I need from the PDF already in context. Let me write this description now. Episode 00: The 15 Permissions — Why I Came Back, and the Truths That Started Everything You've heard it. You've probably said it. "I just need to find a better way to balance all of this." It sounds like a strategy problem. It sounds like a time management problem. It sounds like the kind of leadership challenge that one good system or one good hire might finally solve. It isn't. In this episode... | 19m 42s | ||||||
| 8/2/21 | ![]() 7 Reasons Why People Don't Respect Your Boundaries | When it comes to boundaries, many people are frustrated, hurt and fed up because there are people in their lives - at work, at home, amongst friends, in their volunteer work, in their neighbourhood - who do not respect their boundaries. Well, there may be many reasons why this is happening including these top seven! In this episode I draw back the curtain on what they are and how you can course correct so that you can begin to set boundaries and finally have others respect them. | 15m 34s | ||||||
| 7/20/21 | ![]() 10 Key Factors and One Difference Maker for Planning a Meeting | When you get a notification for an upcoming meeting at work does it ever make you want to sigh and hope you might have a good reason at the last moment not to be there? Believe it or not, there is an art and a science to planning and leading a productive, positive, and enjoyable workplace meeting whether your team gathers in person, virtually or as a blend of both. In this episode, I'm giving you ten key factors to consider when planning a meeting. And I'm sharing what I call the ... | 29m 13s | ||||||
| 7/5/21 | ![]() How Planning With Intentional Margin Has Been A Game Changer | Do you long for the best summer ever? Do you want to look back and feel proud of how you chose to spend your time, what you were able to accomplish, the fun you had, and the sense that you really spent your time well? That's exactly where I was a couple of months ago as I began to up-level my planning for the summer of 2021 so I could enjoy time freedom and use a 10% intentional margin to allow for flexibility so that I didn't put myself into exhaustion and overwhelm - and the early rev... | 21m 32s | ||||||
| 4/19/21 | ![]() How to Use Relationship Marketing to grow Your Business | Which camp are you in: lover of all things networking-related or you’d rather have a root canal than attend a networking event? As part of the all-important relationship marketing strategy, being able to build real, authentic, reciprocal, meaningful and strategic connections with others who can help to support and grow your business is key to a business’ success. In this episode of the Compassionate Leader School Podcast, I’m offering ten simple and effective activities you can use to build y... | 23m 22s | ||||||
| 4/4/21 | ![]() Do You Have an IEA (Ideal Employee Avatar)? | Do you have an IEA? One of the hot topics in business these days is centered around building a marketing strategy based on a company’s ICA, which stands for Ideal Customer Avatar. More detailed and sophisticated than the typical target market analysis, the ICA work is making cash registers ring and companies are benefiting from more engagement from these loyal customers in all areas of their business. In that spirit, I’m asking the question about the other group of people who are key t... | 18m 34s | ||||||
| 3/14/21 | ![]() Understanding the Impact of Your Non-Verbal Communication | No doubt at some point in your life someone has said to you, "it's not what you said, it's how you said it". I'm not sure you would be human if you haven't had that experience. It speaks to the impact of our non-verbal communication. In this episode, I aim to help you be aware of the two key components of non-verbal communication and how, together, they influence the energy you bring into every single space you enter. If you've always wanted to understand why someone gave you that feedb... | 20m 36s | ||||||
| 2/28/21 | ![]() Practicing the Law of Action in One-Minute (or Less) Sprints | Have you heard of the ‘one minute or less rule’ and how to practice it as the fuel for the Law of Action? In this episode of the Compassionate Leader School Podcast, you’ll learn about the Law of Action and have a list of 25 micro-habits to draw from to improve your workplace productivity and keep you on top of the things that can otherwise be stressors. | 17m 47s | ||||||

The model of 'Stretch, Risk or Die' can help you strategize and give you both common language so you can navigate your way through.

| 1/31/21 | ![]() Listening with Empathy | Listening with empathy is a skill we all need if we want to be compassionate communicators. In this episode I talk about how we typically listen and respond autobiographically, when that's okay, and when we need to step up our listening skills and lean in with empathy. Learn about the three worst things to say; and at least three responses that will leave the other person feeling heard, respected and validated every single time. Here we go! | 26m 17s | ||||||
| 11/22/20 | ![]() A Question of Willingness | Do you believe that even though there will be challenges and obstacles you'll have to overcome, you will ultimately be successful? Or are you of the mindset that you hope things will go well but you tend to be inconsistent and possibly self-sabotage? You mean well and have a lot of energy when you start but somewhere along the way you lose steam or get discouraged and that leaves you feeling stuck. If that's you, this episode may be the opportunity you've needed to refocus. As always, I share... | 16m 55s | ||||||
| 11/8/20 | ![]() The Power of Abundant Thinking | Which camp do you typically hang out in - camp scarcity or camp abundance? I called my business Abundant Living because I inherently believe in the principle of abundance. In this episode I talk about how I believe there is enough for everyone and share examples of leaders who reached out to colleagues and competitors alike and asked them to join forces for everyone's benefit. If you tend to slide into thinking it's detrimental to collaborate with others for fear it will result in less ... | 11m 14s | ||||||
| 10/17/20 | ![]() Setting Clear Expectations with the PAR Principle | Have you ever found yourself in the situation where someone comes to you for help and their version of help is putting their problem in your lap with the expectation you'll now take care of it for them? Well, I've been there - more than once - and learned how to apply a simple technique called the PAR Principle to keep the accountability in their court. Have a listen and learn how this can completely change the way you handle these situations in the future; and how you get to play a key role ... | 20m 46s | ||||||
