🤝 Clarity meet confidence. Confidence meet clarity.
A comment from a past Design Character student: “The stuff we work through is quite obvious when you think about it… but we don’t really think about it, until you ask us to.” This captures the essence of our journey toward clarity. It’s not about discovering something new, but about uncovering the truths that lie within us. As you gain this clarity, you’ll notice a shift in how you communicate. Your words will carry more weight, your presence will be felt, and others will listen more intently. This is the potency of clarity—it breeds a quiet, unshakable confidence that resonates in everything you do. Quiet confidence is our jam at this human! You've got this. Love,

And by the end, something had lifted: the tension, the story, the distance. Repair isn’t about blame or being right. It’s about willingness. The...
"Leadership isn’t just about being out in front. Sometimes it’s about knowing when to sit beside someone who’s walked before you." Therapists have supervision. Athletes have coaches. Artists have mentors. So why do so many leaders try to go it alone? This week’s article explores what happens when leaders have a trusted space to reflect, not to perform or impress, but to unpack what’s real. Drawing from my own experience in therapeutic supervision, I share why this kind of relationship is so...
