• Lead Into 2026: One Word Anchors You, One Phrase Activates You
    Dec 22 2025

    Host Maureen (“Mo”) invites lady leaders to pause between the years and step into 2026 with clarity, not just more rest. Grounded in the LEAP model and organizational psychology, this episode helps you discern what to carry forward, what to release, and what to start so leadership feels aligned and sustainable.

    Instead of long resolutions, choose one anchoring word and an activating phrase to guide daily decisions; prioritize alignment over hustle by matching values, capacity, and authority. Practical prompts and a reflection worksheet help you move from exhaustion to faithful, steady leadership.

    Apply wisdom, set boundaries, and lead yourself first, then empower others, so you enter 2026 with intention, courage, and a clear, aligned path forward. Email for my Reflection Checklist to support your word and phrase for 2026 maureen@mcm-consultant.com
