April 29th 2025 Newsletter

🧭 What to expect

This isn’t your average leadership newsletter. Every few weeks, I will drop:

• Real insights from the frontlines of coaching, product management, and DE&I

• Tools and frameworks you can use to lead with more clarity and intention

• Tips and tricks you can apply straight away

• Stories and sparks from people doing bold things

• Invites to free sessions, videos, and downloads

No fluff. No waffle. Just useful things that sharpen your leadership edge.

💡 First insight drop: The ripple starts small

We often think leadership is about big, visible moves. But more often, it’s the micro-moments, how you respond in meetings, who you invite in, the story you tell yourself when you're stretched thin.

This a part of the ripple effect because your smallest actions together create lasting change.

So, here's your challenge this week:

👉 What’s one small shift you could make that would ripple outward?

It could be:

• Responding with a question not an answer

• Speaking up for someone who’s not in the room

• Asking yourself: “Where will the ‘no’ emerge if I say ‘yes’ to this?”

Small shift. Big edge.

🎁 What’s coming next

Next edition: The Broken Rung — What’s Really Holding Women Back (and what we can do about it).

Until then, stay courageous and brilliant.

Warmly,
