Why I Created the Fit to Lead Newsletter

Why I Created the Fit to Lead Newsletter

After two decades in corporate leadership, one thing became clear: leaders rarely have a safe place to ask honest questions. The moments of confusion or uncertainty are often the ones where growth happens — if someone helps you make sense of them.

Fit to Lead gives you that space. It’s designed to help you build awareness, reflect on your leadership tools, and make small intentional changes that create a big difference.
