3 Big Ideas from Me Use these ideas to take action this week. Pick one and try it — small shifts create big change.

1. Your behavior sets the tone before your words ever do.
   We lead ourselves through how we show up: our nervous system, our boundaries, and our emotional presence. Others read it instantly.

2. Self-awareness is a performance tool, not a luxury.
   When you understand your triggers, your patterns, and your stress responses, you stop leaking frustration onto your team.

3. Pausing is a leadership skill.
   The leader who pauses before reacting is the one people feel safe around. Psychological safety starts with your own internal safety.
