It’s the end of September, and Houston’s still sitting in the 90s for daytime highs. The season changed on paper, but the air didn’t move. That raises a question: Are you still running your leadership thermostat at the same setting in a different season, waiting for outcomes to shift? Last month I wrote about the
You Set the Temperature. The SBI Feedback Framework Changes It. Read More »
For years, people said “ugh” when I told them what I did for a living. I managed complaints—discrimination, retaliation, harassment—filed through channels outside the organization’s walls.
What that work taught me over two decades wasn’t what you’d expect: the complaint was rarely the full story. A closer look almost always revealed something underneath it — a pattern of leadership behavior that never would have risen to the level of a formal claim on its own.
If you lead people, you are not observing the temperature in your organization. You’re setting it.
July has a way of getting honest with you.
The goals you set in January are no longer theoretical. The promotion conversation. The visibility. The leadership presence you committed to developing. Where are they?

The second half the year starts now. Have you earned the room yet?
You’ve seen this leader. Brilliant. Prepared. Committed to results. And completely unaware of the silence they’ve created in every room they lead.
In this article, I introduce the Model. Mentor. Multiply. Leadership℠ Framework, a three-pillar approach to developing leaders who don’t just perform at the next level, but build organizations that sustain performance beyond their presence.
If the rooms in your organization have gone quiet, this is a conversation worth having sooner, rather than later.
As the year winds down, leaders often rush into planning mode—setting goals, defining priorities, and preparing for what’s next. Yet one of the most strategic leadership moves happens before planning begins: pausing to reflect on who you are as a leader and how you want to show up in the year ahead.
Year-end reflection creates space to realign your purpose—your reason for being—and refine your vision—the leadership future you aim to create. This intentional pause isn’t about looking backward; it’s about strengthening clarity, presence, and leadership effectiveness moving forward.
