New episode of Our Work out today: Redefining Leadership – Women, Connection & Impact.

In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Clovechok — CEO of Discover Saskatoon, storyteller, and passionate community leader — for a honest conversation about what leadership means for women.

We talk about leadership, relationships, pressure, and purpose — and how women can reshape leadership by choosing collaboration over competition.

Topics we explore:

· Unique experiences for women in leadership

· The missing variable - connection to ourselves, each other and nature

· The “viper theory” — how scarcity affects women’s dynamics at work

· The solution - from “me vs. you” to “us together”

· The hardening that happens in leadership — the importance of staying open

· Regenerative economics and building systems that heal

· Real partnership and sacred masculinity

· Gratitude for pressure — and letting it break us open

· Downtown revitalization and community storytelling

One of my favorite quotes from Steph:

“Pressure is a gift... I hope these pressure-filled, fractured environments enable a place for me to exist that continues to break me open.”
