When was the last time you truly unplugged? For me, it’s been since 2008, and that changes this month.

In this episode, I am sharing why I am taking a full month off, including her first two-week break in over a decade, and what it means for leadership.Here's the truth, if the person at the top never unplugs, the whole team learns that rest is weakness.

In this episode:

• Why modeling balance matters
• How time away strengthens leadership.
• Why healthy cultures are built on actions, not slogans.

Take this as your own nudge: breaks aren’t just allowed—they’re smart leadership.

Most people groan when another meeting lands on their calendar, and honestly, for good reason. Too many meetings waste time, drain energy, and leave everyone wondering, what just happened? But here’s the truth: meetings can be one of the strongest signals of leadership strength—when they’re done right.

In this episode, Kim Frost breaks down how effective leaders transform meetings from time-wasters into powerful tools for clarity, alignment, and action. She shares the pitfalls that make meetings unbearable (no agenda, no outcomes, lateness, endless talking) and the simple shifts that turn them into high-impact moments where people leave energized and informed.

You’ll learn:

• Why meetings are a litmus test for leadership credibility
• The biggest mistakes leaders make (and how to avoid them)
• Simple time rules to instantly make meetings more productive
• How to create clear agendas, encourage the right voices, and assign next steps
• Why respect for time equals trust and stronger culture

If 71% of meetings are unproductive, imagine the competitive advantage if yours are the exception. Meetings don’t have to suck—when you lead them well, they become one of your most powerful leadership tools.

Are you leading communication, or letting it lead you?

In this episode we are diving into one of the most overlooked leadership skills: communication protocols. With endless channels- email, text, Teams, Slack, DMs, WhatsApp, and more - it’s easy for leaders and teams to slip into chaos instead of clarity.

I share real stories from my own career and from clients who’ve struggled with notification overload, unclear expectations, and constant interruptions. I also breaks down how setting clear rules for communication can improve productivity, reduce stress, and protect your team from burnout.

You’ll learn:

• Why technology has made us worse communicators (and what to do about it)
• The simple framework leaders can use to set communication norms
• Real-world examples of quiet time, weekend email bans, and tool-specific rules
• How communication priorities should align with leadership priorities—not just individual preferences

The takeaway? Effective communication isn’t about adding more tools. It’s about more discipline. Leaders set the tone, and when you establish clear protocols, you create focus, protect priorities, and build a healthier culture.
