As a leader, it’s tempting to jump in and fix problems yourself, but doing so can disempower your team and leave you burnt out. In this episode of Leadership Unlocked, we sit down with John Colbert, Director of Corporate Edge, to explore the art of stepping back to move forward. We unpack how to know when to pause, when to give direction, and when to step in with purpose so that you can empower your team, build accountability, and create permanent impact.

In this episode of Leadership Unlocked, we unpack the productivity paradox, an exhausting cycle of working harder but not actually moving forward. We explore the hidden signs of burnout, why leaders and teams get stuck in “busy mode,” and share practical strategies to help you reset your approach and lead with clarity, balance, and impact.

In our final episode of the season, we’re tackling a question so many have asked themselves: Why didn’t I get that promotion? We’re going out with a bang, unpacking this from both sides of the leadership fence. From the individual’s perspective, we explore the skills and behaviours leaders are really looking for when it's time to promote someone into a bigger role, and from a leader’s lens, we dive into the importance of having meaningful career conversations, setting clear expectations, and fostering a psychologically safe environment where team members feel empowered to voice their aspirations.

In this episode of Leadership Unlocked, we dive into the transformative concept of 'identity leadership' - leading not by title, but by who you are as a team. We explore how understanding and embracing your authentic identity as an "us" rather than an "I" can create deeper trust, stronger alignment, and lasting impact throughout your team. You’ll learn how identity leadership can be a great foundation for influence, how it can impact culture and performance, and walk away with simple, practical strategies you can start applying today to lead with more purpose, clarity, and connection.
