SET UP A CALL

Our newest growth series, LIFTING TO INSPIRE, has been two years in the making — and we’re excited to finally bring it into the light. This work is all about Leadership Presence: the art and science of bringing people with you.

Together, we’ll explore how to find — and grow into — your signature leadership voice through three essential factors:

1. AUTHENTICITY
Showing up as the real you, while learning to decenter yourself in service of others.

2. CLARITY
Telling a resonant story, one that flexes with the needs of your audience.

3. ENERGY
Tapping your mental and physical presence to lead with intention and inspire action.

Starting this summer, we’re offering this series as a personal learning journey (via our 7-session 1:1 SkillLab format) and in customized team workshops.

If this speaks to you or your team, let’s talk.

I used to hesitate when people asked for our help with conflict at work. Honestly? I have a great deal of respect for the professionals who DO specialize in mediation — and maybe (okay, probably) I just didn’t want to go there because it’s messy by nature and tricky to navigate.

And. Yet.

Here we are.

The dysfunction we see in today’s workplace mirrors the broader world: disconnection, burnout, and uncertainty. The latest Gallup State of the Global Workplace report confirms what we’re feeling and seeing at The Liberty Collective — engagement is down, especially among managers, and especially for younger and female leaders.

So what to do with that?
We start where people are stuck.

I’m excited to share that The LC now offers a Leadership Recalibration track within our organizational development work — a new way to help leaders reconnect, realign, and rebuild healthier dynamics in their teams.

This work invites you to:

• Understand the cost of disconnection.
• Reframe conflict as a step toward growth, not something to avoid.
• Practice showing up with more clarity, ownership, and care — for yourself and those around you.

We call it thrivability. And it starts by becoming the author of your own story.

As we head into Mother’s Day weekend here in the U.S., we’re celebrating the power of all women in leadership and reflecting on a moment that helped shape our own journey.

Six years ago this week, we hosted the first official Liberty Collective workshop on a beachside retreat near Cambutal, Panama — a magical place where “two oceans kiss.” It was an all-women’s gathering, bringing together remarkable leaders from around the world. What we learned in those early days continues to inform how we uniquely help grow great leaders today.

I discovered that while yes, I COULD lead a workshop without keynote slides or a conference room chair in sight, cross-legged in an open-air yoga shala (see the second photo), it wasn’t my most natural environment to make an impact. But the key was being personally grounded — with nature, with new ideas, with the leaders right in front of us, and with myself.

We also made a pivotal decision on that trip. We expanded our work to meet leaders of all gender identities where they are. Because breaking down monoculture and reshaping the business world through empathy isn’t women’s work. It’s human work.

Collective effort is how we fundamentally rewire how we work, relate, and lead. In this inaugural LC engagement, we felt the undeniable power of community and the collective spirit that gives people the voice and tools to lead differently.

And we aren’t at all surprised that a diverse group of women showed us the way.

Summer School, the LC Way 😎

This summer, we’re creating space for deeper individual coaching with our clients.

For those who’ve been asking to spend more time in growth, we’re now offering a longer-form version of our personal development series: SkillLab Intensives —seven sessions across fourteen weeks (meeting with me 1:1 every other week over Zoom)

If you’ve done our three-session Growth Series before or maybe participated in our Team Workshops, this is a chance to go wider and deeper — with time to reflect, integrate, and build real momentum.

Topics range from rethinking time and space for more holistic balance in our work and lives. To exploring how we hold power and better put our privilege to work. To becoming more curious, active listeners as leaders. We have ten topics in total on offer for you to choose from.

These sessions aren’t just about essential leadership skills — they’re about being more human in how we show up — and building trust and community through authentic connection in an urgent time of need.

If you’re curious, feel free to book an intro session (link in bio). We’d love to share more.

p.s. Thank you Michael Reeder from Smiling Lions for being the partner to ask for and make the longer form happen. You have always been the best instigator. And we love you for it ❤️ (including a photo of a speech from fifteen years ago when Mike agreed to give a presentation with me in front of a massive group of people at a digital conference. The topic was building community and we bravely interwove our experiences doing just that for a Nike World Cup campaign and my own breast cancer journey. Not an easy task, especially with a bald head. @thatreeder was the perfect partner and made it all brilliant.)

Our work lifts people — both individually and collectively.

At the LC, we have the honor of engaging and inspiring leaders every day. While we don’t often show our clients in our posts, we try to help you feel what we see:

• A beautiful smile that lights up a room.
• Eyes widening with insight and joy.
• Infectious laughter that rises and connects.
• Hands that speak volumes — clapping, high-fiving, and moving with energy as someone speaks their truth.
• Markers hitting paper, capturing rich perspectives, bold ideas, and breakthrough moments.

When we say “we’re hands-on at The LC,” we’re not just talking about sticky notes and Sharpies — we’re talking about *transformation through experience.*

Because real change takes root when people are given the space to engage, create, and connect — authentically and organically.

Building authentic trust and fostering deep interpersonal connection across teams is at the heart of what we do. One of the most rewarding challenges we tackle is helping distributed teams work better, together — no matter the distance.

This week, we had the privilege of leading a workshop for a dynamic group of leaders from two different organizations spanning multiple cities. The focus? — one of our highest impact human-centered learning modules, “Modeling Vulnerability.” We featured premium, hands-on (analog!), and story-based methods in a mix that was refreshing and transformative for both individuals and the collective.

At the start of the session, I boldly proclaimed to the group that this experience would be “nothing they expected and everything they needed.” I’m glad to say we lived up to that promise.

Grow with us 🌱

p.s. We have room in our calendar for a few more team engagements this spring, and we would love to facilitate a game-changing experience for your team! We offer IRL workshops for all sizes of groups in formats that span from 1/2 day to 2 full days and we can travel to you. We also offer many virtual options.

#lovebelongsinbusiness

One of the most telling aspects of our work is finding patterns within chosen leadership topics across time. Coming out of the pandemic, we had many requests for “Cultivating Joy” and “Fostering Bravery.” The last few years we’ve experienced a power swell of people asking for “Grounding in Trust.” Lately? It’s “Modeling Vulnerability.”

As one big ‘pulse check’ on our collective psyches, it speaks volumes about what we are missing and how we can actively shift the frequency to grow forward together.

Another perennial request, “Leading by Listening,” is also my personal favorite — for a couple of reasons:

• We’re often pretty lousy at listening. Leading and living through the attention economy feels noisy, fast, and often like a lot of shouting. Not a whole lot of curious listening going on!

• Also, when we step into this work and build a practice of active listening, we are just better human beings all the way around. Better leaders, yes. But also — better partners, mothers, sons, uncles, daughters, brothers, aunts, dads, sisters, friends. Better human beings.

Working with individuals and teams, we help you do three things:

1. Learn the art and science of receptive listening

2. Earn listenership from others

3. Commit to listening to yourself first

(Still a couple of personal and organizational development spots remaining on our Spring calendar! DM for more info).

What does it mean to invest in your people?

Mostly? It’s about that most precious of commodities: TIME.

It’s about creating space for your people where there often isn’t any.

• Finding the room to grow collectively as a team by learning better ways of being, together.

• Building practices that make a real difference in how we navigate our days, with less friction and more joy.

• Giving leaders the tools, resources, and confidence to find personal agency in their work.

And underscoring all of it?

A personal commitment to actively building culture, where people feel safe, seen, and valued.

In uncertain times, we CAN shift the frequency. It’s more important than ever. And it’s a personally empowering way to focus our energies.

While we acutely feel the world around us getting disappointingly stuck, or even worse, taking big steps backward, we move forward.

And we bring our people with us.
