Your reputation isn’t built when you start. It’s built when you leave.
Hi Reader, A leader told us recently: “I’ve already checked out. I still show up. I’m still performing. But I’ve stopped pushing. Stopped reaching. I’m just trying to get through until I figure out what’s next.” They’re not alone. The market is slow. The tension is real. And the in-between—between knowing it’s time to go and actually being gone—is hard to navigate. But here’s what we told them:Even if you’re ready to leave, you’re not done yet. And how you close this chapter may shape what...
You’re not imagining it. The market is slow.
Hi Reader, We’ve been in conversation with leaders across our network, and the through-line is clear: “I’m doing the right things. And still—I feel stuck.” “I’m anxious, and I don’t even know if I should be.” “I’m fine on paper, but this silence is making me question everything.” If that’s you, you’re not imagining it. Hiring hit its lowest point in five years this past December. Economists say the labor market may stay “frozen” for a while. 1 in 3 adults is experiencing layoff anxiety....
When brilliance hides, the right people can’t find you
Hi Reader, We recently talked to someone with a wild accomplishment. She had co-authored the book on philanthropy.Not a book. The book. Industry-standard. Referenced by foundations. Taught in grad programs. Where was it on her resume?Buried halfway down.Wedged between job duties and past roles like it was just another bullet point. And honestly, this happens all the time. We meet talent—you—with game-changing impact, and a tendency to downplay the parts that actually make us look twice. You...

Our Values Don’t Shift—Even When Policies Do
Hi Reader, There are moments when the ground beneath us moves, and we’re reminded just how fragile progress can feel. It’s happening right now. Executive orders that make it harder to fund equity work. Policies that threaten entire communities. People in power making decisions that will ripple through our schools, our businesses, our nonprofits, our daily lives. It’s a lot. And yet. The values that brought us here—the commitment to equity, to justice, to building something bigger than...

The Genius of Borrowing Great Ideas
Hi Reader, What’s the last idea you borrowed? Not the kind you stole—but the kind that opened your eyes to a better way of doing things. The best leaders don’t limit themselves to their own industry or expertise. They borrow ideas from unexpected places—finding genius in what others overlook. Here’s the truth: innovation is rarely born in isolation. It’s sparked by connections, unlikely partnerships, and a willingness to explore what’s worked elsewhere. Take a look at these leaders who...

They’re multidimensional. We’ve seen it time and time again—a teacher turned CEO, leading her team with unmatched clarity. A nonprofit founder reshaping corporate innovation. A career pivot that redefines what leadership looks like. These leaders didn’t just “fit the mold.” They reshaped it. We call it the Leadership...
Stop Fixing Yourself—Start Finding Your Fit
Hi Reader, There’s a story you’ve been told—maybe not directly, but it’s there. A story that whispers: “You need to fix this about yourself. Be less bold. Be more polished. Maybe then, you’ll belong.” And so you edit. You soften. You try to fit yourself into a box that feels tighter every day. But what if the problem isn’t you? What if the real challenge is finding a role and a team that sees the value in exactly who you are—right now? The secret to thriving isn’t endless self-editing. It’s...
