Tip Thursday With Tara - Sustainable Leadership Habits

Busy isn't a leadership strategy or goal, nor does being busy automatically make us effective leaders. In this week's Tip Thursday with Tara on our Amplifying Leadership podcast, Tara is sharing two simple habits that can help you build more sustainable leadership: ✔️ Protect your capacity. ✔️ Stop measuring your success by how busy you are. Leadership isn't about seeing how much you can squeeze into a day. It's about showing up consistently, making good decisions, and creating an environment where both you and your team can succeed.

The Power of Connections With Guest Nick Jonsson

Did you know some of the strongest leaders aren't the ones with the biggest networks? They are the ones with the strongest connections. Connection is about more than networking. It is about building authentic relationships that create trust, strengthen collaboration, and help us grow personally and professionally. In this episode with our guest Nick Jonsson, we explore the power of authenticity, vulnerability, and meaningful relationships. We discuss practical strategies for building the right connections, leading a new team, networking even when you're busy, using social media intentionally, rebuilding broken relationships, and knowing when it's time to let a connection go. Discover how the right connections, and the stories they bring, can help you overcome challenges, unlock new opportunities, and move your leadership forward.
