Leadership Is A Long-Haul Journey: How to Find Your Sweet Spot for Sustainable Success
You're Invited to the Sweet Spot Global Leadership Summit hosted by Sarah Francescutti (February 22-25) where I'll be delivering a video teaching and walk-through of the Wheel of Sustainable Success™
Leadership Love Note From Sunny Florida
By the grace of God and negative Covid tests, Honey 🍯 Bear 🐻 and I made it to sunny Orlando, Florida for the Keller Williams Realty International (KWRI) Family Reunion 2022! It’s my first international in-person conference since 2017, pre-Covid. I’m so happy to be able to travel again and support hubby’s real estate business, and pick up some golden nuggets along the way for my own leadership and entrepreneur journey. There were at least 10,000 attendees and we were the only ones of half a dozen people wearing masks lol. It's like Covid doesn't exist here. I just had to pose in front of this giant yellow donut photo booth. How fun, especially while rocking my red tights and golden blazer and million-dollar smile (says hubby)!
Honey 🍯 Bear 🐻 and I almost cancelled this trip because I got some crazy cold-like symptoms and was out of commission for two weeks. Hubby was feeling unwell also at the same time, but different symptoms. But after a lot of difficult deliberation and intentional weighing of pros and cons, we decided to go ahead and invest not only in a long-awaited vacation but also dream-building, business synergizing and up-levelling personally and professionally.
It’s been so worth it! You know how it is when you’re in the same room with like-minded, heart-resonant others.
I got to hear from Gary Keller himself, Founder of KWRI, the largest real estate company in the world, share his insights and guidance on creating success based on vision and values, culture and connection.
When Honey Bear shared that he joined a real estate brokerage called Keller Williams (KW), I was like, “What is that? I’ve never heard of them!” I learned that they are by far the largest real estate organization in the world, very successful at that, and they don’t do any public advertising. One thing that stood out from Gary’s talk made me pause and ponder. He said,
“Leadership is a lonely position. If you’re a visionary leader, you’re probably trying to say something that nobody wants to say.”
I couldn’t help but think, that is so true. I remembered all the times when I felt lonely and struggling in my own leadership & entrepreneurial journey, with overwhelming stress, ridiculous workloads, clinical burnout (x 2), lack of a love life, being the black sheep in my family, crazy financial risks, crashing and burning from betrayal by business partners, and at least a few dark nights of the soul when I cried out to God in my hopelessness.
The only thing that kept me going was my holding onto my vision, my love of whatever business I was involved in, and beautiful people (mentors, teachers, colleagues, friends) who had my back and encouraged and supported me, and learning over time what it really takes to create a strong foundation for success that is sustainable at all levels. And of course, the grace of God.
It’s why I developed The Wheel of Sustainable Success™ Framework for heart-centred and high-achieving entrepreneurs and executives. It’s a holistic and integrated framework that allows visionary leaders, fearless founders, social entrepreneurs and radical changemakers to create success that feels as good as it looks without the SOBS (stress, overwhelm, burnout and sacrifice).
And I’m so excited to be teaching it at the Sweet Spot Global Leadership Summit hosted by my coaching colleague and (Canadian!) collaborator Sarah Francescutti, Certified Executive Coach at Exhale and Thrive Coaching.
It’s happening this coming week, February 22-25, 2022 ~ four value-packed days of expert wisdom on how to thrive at all levels personally and professionally in order to create a powerfully positive impact in the world.

Check out this catch-up video chat (10 mins) that I had with Sarah about why she created the ‘Sweet Spot’ Summit for visionary leaders like you.
Like me, she’s passionate about helping leaders master what she calls the “marathon of the mind”.
In the video, Sarah and I talked about this truth:
Leadership is a lifelong, long-haul journey. It’s not like you’re a leader one day and then take a day off the next day. And especially during these trying times of multiple crises and rapid change that we can barely keep up with, we need each other more than ever. In addition to the Covid pandemic and climate crisis and economic crisis (and many others), we are also in a crisis of leadership. We need not just more leaders, but better leaders. Leadership is lonely journey. Get the support you need to keep going for the long haul.
At the Sweet Spot Global Leadership Summit (February 22-25, 2022), over 4 days we've got 22 speakers helping you and your organization to thrive from the inside-out. That means bigger profits in your pocket, more innovative teams, better employee engagement, bigger impact and a fully-actualized life.
It’s FREE to register to participate in real time throughout the week. My teaching on the Wheel of Sustainable Success™ is on Friday, February 25th @ 10am PST. Even if you see this last-minute and can only attend one or two speaker sessions, it’s completely worth it! Otherwise, you can opt for the VIP All-Access Pass which gives you access to all recordings, bonuses, extra resources and valuable gifts from the speakers.
