A fuzzy strategy comes with real costs, and that lack of clarity can diminish true value. Think you're scaling well? Think again. It's crucial to support a bold vision with clear direction and regular reality checks.

In this program, you'll learn how to address the "stay in your lane" mindset that might be holding you back, why it's essential to disrupt your own company before the market does, and how to achieve strategic clarity.

Being curious and stepping into new dynamics are tangible signs of bold leadership. It requires committing to courageous practices that ultimately make the greatest impact both in business and beyond. And it starts with you, as an authentic individual. Bringing more of yourself to every moment of your day will give you MORE energy.

You can have "space" in your meetings, conversations, or company culture to unlock your team's best ideas. It is the intangible connections that transform how your business scales, grows, and belongs together.

Embrace experimentation — after all, we all do it already. Be intentional about tuning in to the people around you, and work to overcome any feelings of shame or embarrassment that may hold you back from acknowledging how interesting each person is.

Jess Dewell talks with Heather Hester, Founder of More Human More Kind, about being BOLD and acting with courage even when it feels uncomfortable or risky, and about being brave and honest about mistakes and strategic challenges to reach your growth potential.

Tune in to explore what you're already doing successfully, which will help you enhance those efforts and demonstrate positive energy management and trust-building behaviors. You'll also learn about the concept of "Brave Belonging" and how cultivating curiosity can energize your team.

Endings often go unnoticed. It's easy to push back project deadlines and adjust our expectations for results, but calling for a definitive stop to review our progress can be much harder. We might feel the urge to dive right into tactics to achieve results, yet what we're truly after is a clear, overarching goal—whether that's increasing something or changing the status quo.

When launching a product, crafting your business's narrative, or entering a new market, a lack of clarity makes it challenging to recognize when we've hit our desired outcome. It's crucial to step back, evaluate our plans, the actions we've taken, and the results we've achieved to decide whether to move forward or make necessary tweaks. We need to acknowledge when we've arrived, even if the path we took wasn't what we originally envisioned.

In this episode, you'll discover the significance of milestones for tracking your progress, how endings can pave the way for new beginnings, and that the journey from executing a plan to reaching our goals is rarely a straight line.

Jess Dewell hosts Pam Didner, the Founder of Relentless Pursuit, LLC, and Mickie Kennedy, President of eReleases, to explore why it's bold to reflect on how endings can actually help us thrive.
