このコンテンツについて

Leadership should not feel like a lecture. It should feel like a conversation you actually want to be part of.


Welcome to The Path to Leadership, where Dr. Katie Ervin and creative strategist Rhonda Jolyean Hale team up to bring you real talk, real tools, and real transformation. Think of it as your weekly coffee date where leadership development meets creativity, brain science, humor, and the beauty found in both breakthroughs and breakdowns.


Dr. Katie brings the research, the practicality, and her signature no-fluff honesty. Rhonda Jolyean brings the creativity, the reinvention energy, and a fresh perspective on how your brain, your story, and your environment shape who you are as a leader. Together, they explore what it takes to grow, adapt, inspire, and stay human in a world that never slows down.


If you are leading people, leading projects, leading at home, or simply leading your own next chapter, this podcast gives you the mindset and momentum to do it with clarity, courage, and joy.


Because leadership is not about being perfect. It is about showing up, getting curious, and choosing who you want to be today.

  • Stop Letting Your Brain Be Your Drama Queen

    Start 2026 with a steadier compass, not a louder calendar. When the world feels heavy and noisy, we dig into how leaders can stay grounded by pairing a real growth mindset with practical, intentional choices that cut through uncertainty. Instead of sugarcoating hardship, we redefine growth mindset as curiosity over judgment—asking what can be learned, where grace belongs, and how to move forward when confidence wobbles.

    We talk candidly about the hidden cost of negativity and disengagement. Burnout rarely shows up as flames; it shows up as numbness, cynicism, and reactive decisions. From missed opportunities to rooms we weren’t invited into, we name the moments that push us from curiosity into self‑protection and share how to spot that shift before it hardens into a fixed identity. You’ll hear why openness beats having all the answers, and how leaders who listen, question, and reflect create psychological safety and better decisions.

    Then we get practical. Intentional leadership isn’t a grand plan—it’s the small, repeatable behaviors that shape culture: pausing before you respond, preparing for hard conversations, holding people kindly to high standards, and protecting capacity through clear boundaries. We introduce three grounding questions to regain agency: what’s within my control, what story am I telling myself, and what’s the most intentional next step. These tools help you challenge worst‑case thinking, focus your energy, and build momentum without waiting for perfect conditions.

    If you’re ready to trade autopilot for purpose, hit play and take the next right step with us. Share this episode with someone who needs a reset, and leave a five‑star review so more leaders can choose growth this year.

  • Celebrate The Pause
    2025/12/23

    Send us a text

    Ever feel like celebration is something you’ll “get to” after the next deadline? We flip that script and show how pausing to celebrate is a leadership competency that fuels momentum, creativity, and culture. Katie and Rhonda break down why so many of us skip recognition—productivity myths, minimizing mindsets, and unhelpful cultural norms—and how the brain reads constant urgency as safety while seeing stillness as a threat. The fix isn’t confetti; it’s intentional, well-timed pauses that reward progress and close cognitive loops so teams can start the next cycle clear and energized.

    We dive into the neuroscience of dopamine as a teaching signal, explaining how micro celebrations mark effective processes and counter the negativity bias that drains motivation. Then we layer in self-determination theory—competence, relatedness, autonomy—to show how thoughtful recognition boosts confidence, builds belonging, and reduces burnout. From quiet contributors to the loudest voices, we map recognition patterns that feel fair, inclusive, and values-aligned.

    You’ll get a practical playbook: the Pause Protocol (pause, name, anchor), a “Celebrate Like A Leader” checklist (who contributed, what we learned, how we honor the moment), and a menu of low-lift rituals for co-located and remote teams. Think weekly shout-outs, brag boards, sensory cues that signal safety, traveling tokens, and meeting openers that connect people beyond tasks. For long projects, we outline how to plan micro milestones that keep energy high without diluting meaning.

    Walk away ready to make celebration consistent, authentic, and tied to real work. Try one ritual this week, send a two-line thank-you, and watch engagement shift. If this conversation helped, follow the show, share it with a teammate who needs a nudge to pause, and leave a quick review to help more leaders find us. What’s one win you’re celebrating today?

  • Leadership Briefs: Building A Personal Values Playbook
    2025/12/16

    Send us a text

    Clarity gets easier when you can name what you stand for. We’re launching our Leader Briefs with a fast, practical guide to defining three to five personal values and turning them into simple behaviors you can practice when stakes are high and time is short. Instead of vague aspirations, we walk through a concrete flow: capture peak moments across your life, translate the feelings and patterns you notice into candidate values, and refine a long list down to a focused core you can remember and use.

    We dig into why values act as guardrails for decisions, how they cut burnout by reducing default yeses, and why they offer clarity when emotions run hot. You’ll hear examples from our own lists—integrity, acceptance, relationships, growth, empathy, creativity, joy, fun, exploration—and how we define them in action with “I show this when…” statements. We also talk about grouping related terms into themes so your shortlist reflects what truly matters without bloating into a feel-good catalog. The aim is a compass you can carry, not a poster you forget.

    Then we put values to work. Borrowing Octavia Butler’s reminder that habit beats inspiration, we show how to precommit small, repeatable actions: choose empathy in the first minute of a tense exchange, ship a creative draft before perfect, protect time blocks for family, or take one bold step when imposter syndrome bites. We cover review rhythms, how values can evolve with life stages, and why sharing your list with your team builds trust, speeds decisions, and invites mutual accountability. Ready for a quick win that pays off every day? Press play, pick your five, define the behaviors, and practice one habit this week. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend, and tell us your top value in a review or on LinkedIn.
