The One Thing that Changes Everything

What if I told you there is one thing that makes you not only a better leader…

But also a better teammate and honestly a better human?

And no, it is not a new productivity hack or a morning routine that starts at 4:15 AM.
It is something way simpler and way more powerful.

But before I tell you what it is, let me take you into a conversation I had recently.

I sat down with Lori Holt and we went deep. Not surface level leadership talk. I mean the kind of conversation that makes you stop, breathe, and say, “Oh… this is the work.”

We talked about the real muscle behind effective leadership. The ability to know yourself, manage yourself, and understand the people around you. Lori shared her journey navigating challenging environments, setting healthy boundaries, and figuring out how to show up authentically even when it is not easy.

She walked me through her transition into a more creative leadership space where her mission is to unlock the potential in others. And I loved hearing how she encourages people to bring their whole selves into the work they do. Gifts, quirks, dreams, all of it.

And that is when it hit me.
This one thing kept showing up at every stage of her story.

Alright I will not tease you anymore.

The one thing that changes everything?

Emotional intelligence.

It is the quiet superpower behind self awareness.
It is the fuel for healthy boundaries.
It is the reason some leaders elevate people while others drain them.

If you have been wondering how to communicate better, lead stronger, or simply feel more centered in your everyday life, start here.

Lori and I unpack this in a way that is practical, honest, and really encouraging for anyone who wants to grow. Especially in STEM where these conversations sometimes feel uncomfortable.

My hope is that you walk away with something that helps you show up as the best version of yourself at work, at home, and everywhere in between.
