Stand Tall & Own It - Equipping Purpose-Driven Leaders to Show Up with Authenticity and Courage
“Just be you,” they say. But for many high-achievers, “just being you” hasn’t always felt safe or practical—whether it’s at work, school, church, or even in leadership circles. For purpose-driven leaders, holding back can limit your impact and undermine your authenticity.
Even in workplaces that claim to value individuality, leading with confidence and conviction still takes courage. To lead with steadiness and clarity, you must first understand your values, embrace your individuality, and recognize that the solutions you need are as unique as you are.
Stand Tall & Own It is for modern leaders who want to lead with purpose, integrity, and courage—without sacrificing who they are. Each episode explores how to navigate challenges, make values-anchored decisions, and cultivate the discernment to think critically in a noisy world.
If you’re ready to explore your Core Values and lead with intention, check out my Core Values Blueprint and Core Values Coaching for practical tools to help you grow.

1 BIG Idea:
Your leadership legacy isn’t just about what you accomplish—it’s about who you are, why you lead, and how you impact others. It all starts with knowing your why.
3 Ways to Apply This:
- Clarify Your Core Values – Your why is rooted in what truly matters to you. Identify your values and ensure they align with your leadership.
- Define Your Leadership Legacy Statement – Write down the impact you want to leave behind and how you want to be remembered as a leader.
- Live Your Why Daily – Your leadership legacy isn’t built at the end of your career; it’s shaped in every decision, conversation, and action you take today.
3 Questions to Ask Yourself:
- What do I want people to say about my leadership when I’m not in the room?
- How does my why influence the way I show up and lead right now?
- What steps can I take today to align my leadership with the legacy I want to leave?
