You can have the perfect strategy and still have a team that’s disengaged, drained, or stuck. These seven commitments are what actually change culture.

In Part 3 of this series, Desiree and Tessa walk through the seven commitments that shape your mindset, energy, and team culture—often more than any strategy ever will.

You’ll learn:

• Zone of Genius vs. “I’m ok at this” and why competence keeps you stuck.
• How to spot contentment vs. complacency so you stop settling for work that drains you.
• Why rest and play fuel better leadership (and why “busy” is not a badge of honor).
• How to flip unhelpful stories like “I’m not a good leader” into something true and useful.
• What you’re really seeking—approval, control, or security
• The shift from scarcity to abundance, especially around time and resources.
• How to see your team as allies, not obstacles, and why going first is the only way to change culture.

Pick one commitment and practice it in a single real situation this week—a meeting, a conflict, or a decision. Tiny, consistent shifts are how you move from surviving leadership to actually enjoying it.
