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.

They are of it. And yet, we see so many leaders trying to compartmentalize, heads down, hoping to ride out the turbulence by maintaining the status...
We got four inches of snowfall last night. As I walked Axl through the fluffy white morning, with powder underfoot and the lightest, dreamiest flurries dancing around us, I found myself marveling at the fact that the thick blanket covering everything in sight was created by the gathering and settling of one tiny snowflake after another. It seemed impossible. Magical. But I had to remind myself, this is the only way it ever happens. Out of current conditions, a new pattern arises. As it...
It’s the most wonderful time of the year—time to reckon with darkness. The days are getting shorter and the nights are growing longer. My neighbors and I in the northern hemisphere are now living mostly in the dark, and as the solstice approaches I know it’s going to get darker before it gets lighter. And it’s been a dark year. More than 1 million people (and counting) were laid off in 2025, as economic inequality is at a record high. AI appears to be on an increasingly dystopian trajectory,...
