  • The Hidden Gaps in Leadership

    The Hidden Gaps in Leadership
    2025/11/25

    Every leader has them: those hidden perspectives and ingrained habits we call blindspots. In this insightful episode of The Reins of Leadership, Merinda shares a personal story to illuminate how our own aversions and outdated beliefs can inadvertently steer our leadership off course.

    Discover why blindspots aren't weaknesses, but rather uninspected areas ripe for growth.

    Here are some questions to help you:


    • What are you truly resisting?
    • Is your preference masquerading as a principle?
    • Are you looking for evidence, or letting emotion lead?
    • Who can offer a trusted, outside perspective?
    • Are you choosing short-term discomfort for long-term ease?

    It's time to ask: "Is this actually a limitation, or is it just the place where I need to get out of my own way?"

  • The Space Between the Ask and the Answer

    The Space Between the Ask and the Answer
    2025/11/11

    In this episode we explore a quiet moment with a yearling who had never been handled before. What began as a simple interaction — allowing the young horse to follow and accept a halter — became a powerful lesson in leadership, trust, and patience.

    Through stillness, observation, and gentle invitation, we explore how true leadership isn’t about pressure or control, but about creating space — the space for others to respond, choose, and trust.

    Reflective Question:
    Where in your leadership, work, or relationships could you step back — and allow trust to walk toward you?
