Happy Solstice. It may be the darkest day of the year (up here in the north anyway), but the solstice reminds us that the light is ready to return. To mark the occasion, here’s a little gift: Ready to find your 2026 intention? Grab the 2026 Leadership Intention Workbook and find the noble quality that wants to guide you—in leadership and in life—next year. I’ll share more in the January newsletter about why intentional practice is a gamechanger, but wanted to give you the goods early. The strongest possible start Join the 31 Days of Intention Challenge kicking off New Year’s Day. Daily micro-practices will help us all start the year strong. The challenge space opens this week—you can do the Challenge any time, but if you want to join me for January, I recommend jumping in by New Year’s Eve. (RadiantChange.co members, you’re already in, just click here.) 90 minutes to anchor your year Join us for the January Mini-Retreat, where we’ll share our intentions, map how they may show up in real life (meetings, relationships, challenges), and learn a simple meditation for aligning with our intention in the moment. (This Mini-Retreat is free for RadiantChange.co members and 31 Days of Intention Challenge practitioners.) As we move into a new year, with its vast uncertainties and unlimited opportunities to lead, our intentions will light the way. Onward together. Kristen Lisanti |

Maybe it’s the fact that I haven’t taken any time off (yet! t-minus 12 days and counting) and I’m tired. Or maybe it’s just being 8 months into the year and increasingly clear about what is and isn’t working. Whatever it is, I’m getting restless. Is it just me? I share this as I’m writing chapter 7 in my book, which is all about the...
I watched the series finale of The Bear last night, and I know I'll be thinking about it for days to come. Have you been watching? The whole series is a study in how people come together to transform something—in this case, a Chicago beef sandwich shop into an elevated, innovative fine-dining experience. The arc of the business is mirrored in the arcs of the people who work there, both individually—in the journeys they take from doers to dreamers to leaders—and collectively. The Bear is many...
It was a real “oh $%#!“ moment. There I was, sorting through my inbox and scanning the headlines of various newsletters when a familiar phrase caught my eye. A group of BCG consultants had published a new book called How Change Really Works. Which, as you may recall, is the name of the book I’m currently writing. In a span of seconds, I had a whole range of thoughts and emotions: Sudden panic “Oh $%#!” followed immediately by… Surprising relief “Maybe I don’t have to write this book anymore”...
