If you think effective leadership is all about having the perfect plan, the most compelling pitch, or racking up a list of accomplishments, you're not alone. Most of us have grown up believing that confidence, strategy, and performance are what distinguish the best leaders from others.

However, the truth is that people don’t follow the strategy. They follow the energy.

In this episode, I am going to share what might just be the most powerful leadership tool you already have – your presence. I am going to show you the science behind it, why your presence matters more than performance, and the two simple steps to elevate your presence in your leadership — both in the workplace and at home.

I’ve got a big question for you today… one I’m betting no one’s asked you in a while:

What does success mean to you now?

Not the version you scribbled in a vision statement 20 years ago.

Not what your parents wanted.

Not the one culture that flashes at you with big vacations and busy calendars.

I’m talking about your definition. Right now. In this season.

With the life you actually have—not the one you’re still chasing.

Here’s why I’m asking…over the past few months, I’ve been having conversation after conversation—at dinner tables, over coffee, on coaching calls—with people from all walks of life who are wrestling with this very question.

People who’ve climbed their mountains.

Built the things. Launched the dreams. And still are unsure.

Sometimes, they even feel pressure to be more successful than they currently feel.

So I ask them: “What does success mean to you?”

Lately, I’ve been sitting at dinner tables, over coffee, and on coaching calls, with people of all walks of life who are wrestling with this one big question: What does success mean to you now? Not the definition you wrote in a vision statement two decades ago. Not the version you inherited from your family. Not what our culture flashes at you. I mean today, in this season, in your life as it is right now.

And here’s what I’ve been noticing: many of us have climbed mountains, launched dreams, built families and meaningful careers, but still feel uncertain. Still feel a pressure within to chase more. So, let’s pause. Let’s reevaluate. And let’s talk about what success really looks and feels like after the climb. In this episode, I’ll walk you through redefining success based on your current season, explain why it matters, discuss how it can change your life, and show you how to start today.
