Episode notes
Turning Point From Success To Inner Work
- Kelly Resendez shifted from being a top 1% loan officer chasing significance to prioritizing inner peace after her mother's dementia diagnosis.
- That personal crisis pivoted her focus to self-awareness and led her to help leaders develop emotional stability.
Focus On One Skill Per Quarter
- Choose one leadership skill or value and work deeply on it per quarter rather than chasing many changes at once.
- Example: practicing better listening and curiosity for a quarter can dramatically reduce interruptions and improve meeting outcomes.
Give Your Team An Owner's Manual
- Create and share an 'owner's manual' that explains how you operate, triggers, and expectations so your team knows how to work with you.
- Doug described a COO who updated his manual yearly and used it to deepen team understanding and reduce friction.
