When we shift roles—especially from individual contributor to people leader—it's not just a change in title; it’s a transformation of identity. In this episode, I'm joined by leadership coach Jonathan Shaver, whose expertise lies in supporting individuals through this pivotal transition.

We explore how our sense of identity is often deeply connected to how we contribute, and what happens when that "how" changes. Jonathan shares insights on the emotional and practical challenges of identity shifts in leadership, why self-awareness is crucial, and how organizations and individuals can better prepare for these changes.

Whether you're stepping into leadership for the first time or guiding others through it, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on navigating growth, vulnerability, and purpose.

Enjoy!

Have you ever held back from speaking your truth, going after an opportunity, or making a bold decision—just because you were worried what others might think? That’s FOPO: the Fear of Other People’s Opinions.

In this episode, Angie shines a light on this lesser-known but powerful inner critic and how it quietly influences our decisions, actions, and leadership. She explores how FOPO differs from other common internal blockers like imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, and perfectionism, and how it often blends with them in subtle ways.

You'll hear:

• What FOPO is and how it shows up in leadership and life

• Real-life examples of how FOPO holds us back

• The cost of letting FOPO take the wheel

• How to reclaim your voice, authenticity, and forward momentum

Plus, we share practical reflection questions and mindset shifts to help you recognize and step beyond FOPO when it shows up.

What does it really mean to feel alive as a leader—and why does it matter? In this episode, we're diving into the concept of vitality: that deeper, internal energy that fuels your presence, purpose, and performance. Unlike engagement, which is about doing, vitality is about being—being energized, aligned, and resilient.

You'll hear insights from a recent leadership event that sparked this reflection, explore a simple yet powerful five-question vitality assessment, and walk through a guided inventory to evaluate your current and future state. We’ll also explore the connection between vitality and effective leadership, how to recognize when yours is low, and the real-life habits and mindset shifts that can help increase it.

If you're ready to elevate your energy and lead from a place of intention, alignment, and authenticity—this one's for you.

Leadership is about the human experience.

As a leader, your role is more than just making decisions and driving results—it’s about how you show up in those moments. Whether you’re inspiring a team, leading through change, or delivering tough news, the way you communicate and engage with people matters just as much as the outcomes themselves.

In this episode, we explore a real-world example of a leadership misstep in change management and break down why the human experience should always be at the forefront. Leadership isn’t just about strategy and execution—it’s about people. The way you lead determines whether employees feel valued, heard, and engaged, or demotivated and disconnected.

We also discuss:

• The impact of leadership choices on trust, engagement, and productivity
• The balance between making tough decisions and leading with empathy
• Why communication and transparency are critical in organizational change
• How leaders can align their words and actions for greater impact

Leadership is a choice. How will you show up?
