    • #63. How to Lead When "De-Escalation" Isn't Enough: 5 Things to Say in a Crisis
      Feb 3 2026

      "De-escalation" is the word of the day. But what does it mean? Should you use this word to reply to the tension your team is feeling? Is it a good way to address the activities of ICE in the US if you're working in the US? As someone who's half German with a father who lived through Nazi Germany, I've learned silence is never neutral. My personal history has taught me that there are times when you need to speak up.

      In this episode, I break down calculated vs. cautious leadership and give you 5 things to say (with real language) plus 5 mistakes to avoid when your team needs you to lead. This topic can feel scary, and I address that head-on. Say something real, not something safe, leader.

    • #62. Stretch Goals Are a Lie: How to Actually Develop Your Team
      Jan 27 2026

      Stretch goals came out of Jack Welch's GE in the 1990s. Corporate America has been obsessed with them ever since. And they don't work.

      Here's what actually happens: You dump work on someone, disappear, and call it development. That's not a stretch goal. That's abandonment.

      In this episode, I'm replacing stretch goals entirely with a 5-step framework for developing people by letting go of work—with structure, coaching, and support.

      You'll learn how to identify what you're hoarding, slice work into learnable pieces, and coach people through it without taking the work back the first time they struggle.

      This is Part 3 of the Development Reckoning series. If you haven't listened to Parts 1 and 2, start there first.

      Stop the chase. Grow in place. Starting with the work you're holding onto right now.

      Jan 20 2026

      You need an easy plan to begin to level up your team members. In this episode, I share ideas on how to create a simple 90-day plan to change the capabilities of a team member.

      This is episode 2 in a 3-part series about The Development Reckoning. Hiring is frozen, you never really paid attention to the people you hired as you kept chasing to hire more, and you now realize you need more out of the people on your team now.
