This is why personal development is so crucial for leaders. Great leaders, the ones people want to follow, have the emotional intelligence to empathize with their people, which creates connection and a sense of truly being seen and heard. Those are the leaders people will go the extra mile for, and then everyone wins. #leadership #emotionalintelligence #empathy #personaldevelopment

This is one heck of an opportunity to lead an incredible organization doing extraordinary things. Having worked with PROVAIL’s Executive and Leadership teams for 18 months, I know how wonderful these people are and how dedicated they are to improving the lives of those with disabilities in Washington State. Please share with anyone you think would be a good fit. #ceo #nonprofit #washington #leadership

In a business world that's constantly evolving, clinging to old methods stifles innovation and growth. Effective leadership means challenging the status quo, embracing change, and fostering a culture where fresh ideas can thrive. Don't let comfortable habits hold you back—lead with a mindset that welcomes transformation. 🚀 #Leadership #Innovation #GrowthMindset #ChangeManagement

Here’s more information about the work I’m doing with Microsoft to facilitate the positive application of Generative AI in political campaigns and help them prepare for deepfakes and safeguard against cyber threats. https://lnkd.in/g7NYrQSF #microsoft #AI #cybersecurity #elections #GenAI

Providing strategic support for Microsoft’s Campaign Success Team has been an exciting and fulfilling project. The work continues as we do our bit to protect and facilitate the Democratic process in the U.S. and worldwide. We’re doing this by providing AI training, tools, and Microsoft technology to prepare and defend campaigns on both sides of the political divide for Deepfakes and Cybersecurity threats. #democracy #elections #Microsoft #AI #deepfake #cybersecurity #genai

This is a massive cause of burnout. Many leaders try to take too many things on at the same time. The irony is that they often do things they could delegate, or worse, do things that are actually in their employee's job description. For the latter, they do this for two reasons: because those things are familiar to them, and they don’t want to let go, or they don’t trust their team to do them as well as they can. Sounds familiar?

Congratulations to Mike Hatzenbeler, who has decided to take on a new challenge after 28 remarkable years leading Seattle nonprofit PROVAIL. Mike has been one of my favorite clients. We've been working together for nearly two years, and in that time, I've always been impressed by his passion to serve, his kindness, and his willingness to try new things. The nonprofit he is moving to is very lucky to have him. I'm also excited that the board of Provail has entrusted the organization's running to Emily Kang Cantrell as interim CEO. Currently, the COO, Emily, is an absolute rockstar, and if you don't know her, you need to. She is a very talented and inspiring business leader and an incredibly passionate civic leader who invests a ton of her time and energy into making Seattle and the world a better (and safer) place.

Huge congratulations to my leadership development client Melissa Matassa-Stone for being named CEO of WGM GROUP, Inc. It’s been a pleasure working with you over the past year Melissa. WGM is in very good hands!
