Winter: Get Cozy, Settle In and Transform Your Leadership

Join us for the inaugural episode of season 5 of the Seasons Leadership Podcast. We discuss the transformational season of leadership we know metaphorically as winter. The energy of winter is different, things slow down, we are more self-oriented and self-reflective. Discover how this period, though outwardly quiet, under the surface provides the opportunity for us to transform not only ourselves but our leadership.
Show notes:
In this episode we talk about:
· Honoring the time and space to transform and the importance of feeling our feelings.
· How you know when you are experiencing “winter.”
· Actionable advice on what to do when you are experiencing winter in your life and as a leader.
· What to avoid or resist during this season.
· We end with a discussion on self-care. Excellent leaders have a responsibility to take care of themselves.
Get started on improving your leadership journey by reflecting with us on what the season of winter has to offer you.

Fall reflections are running through my mind
Fall means running Cross Country. This sport has shaped so many of my fall seasons of life. First as a student athlete and now as a coach. This sport, which is all about racing across varied terrain, takes on an almost mythical quality for me and I suspect many other runners that are drawn to this open-air competition.

Strong leaders assert agency
This summer, I've been reflecting on the concept of agency because my coaching clients have been talking about it. People say things like, “I could never do that!” or “I’m burning out, my boss doesn’t see all that I do!”
