She helps first-time leaders survive the identity crisis nobody warned them about

Keep your hobbies or lose yourself

Rachel Fenton [https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-fenton/] on the messiness of pivots, curiosity as the thread, and making things with your hands. 📚What You'll Learn 1. Why staying connected to multiple identities and hobbies is essential insurance against work consuming everything in your life 2. How the career gap is often messier and less linear than the polished LinkedIn stories we see, and what that realistic timeline looks like 3. What "the right size" means for your career and why growth isn't always the answer ✍️ Some Takeaways * When work becomes everything, leaving becomes impossible because you've lost all your other selves. * Career moves are pragmatic sequences of small decisions, not pivotal moments. * The career gap is messy and turbulent, even with privilege and safety nets. * Making things by hand is medicine for a life spent on keyboards, and it's non-negotiable.

If it sucks, you can leave; the world is as we've made it

Tyler Sellhorn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tyler-sellhorn/] on showing up whole online, identity stacking, and life’s seasons. 📚What You'll Learn 1. Why "if it sucks, you can leave" is the foundational belief that changes everything about how you approach work and life 2. How to think like a remote-first leader who sees whole people, not disembodied profiles 3. What makes AI genuinely transformational versus where it falls apart completely ✍️ Some Takeaways * An identity stack keeps growing and reordering based on seasons, unlike fixed frameworks that suggest you're a finished product. * Showing up as your whole self, online and offline, is how you actually build community and have real influence. * You're never actually stuck; that's a lie that gets passed down by people who are also stuck. * AI is exceptional at compression and code generation, but it's subtractive technology everywhere else because feedback loops don't exist for most human work.

Your easiest thing is your truest thing

Avi Love [https://www.linkedin.com/in/avi-love/] on alignment, play in difficult moments, and creativity as nervous system medicine. 📚What You'll Learn 1. Why deep conversations and containers matter more than ever in a shallow, algorithm-driven world 2. The difference between therapy and coaching, and why coaching is experiencing a renaissance right now 3. How polyvagal theory explains why play is literally a survival and innovation skill ✍️ Some Takeaways * Denial about your calling is always rooted in making things hard for yourself—we're taught that what comes naturally must be suspicious. * Monetise when the world asks you to, not when you preemptively decide it's viable. * Fear and heartbreak are signs you're in alignment, not out of it; they point to what's deeply meaningful to you. * Play is the foundational nervous system skill that enables everything else: connection, resilience, and breakthrough innovation.

She got fired. Then she wrote a book about empathy.

Jessica Bozsan [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-bozsan/] on getting blindsided, building a web of people who root for you, and why empathy is the most underrated business strategy right now. 📚 What You'll Learn 1. Why getting fired can be a catalyst and the one practical move that helped Jess rebuild her confidence and career faster than she expected. 2. The difference between tacit and explicit knowledge and why making empathy explicit is one of the most important things we can do right now as AI takes over the processy stuff. 3. The Kindly Framework: a five-step approach any brand, solopreneur, or team can use to treat their customer like a real person, not a data point. ✍️ Some Takeaways * When your world gets too small, a crisis can force you to rebuild it better. * Empathy is a skill, not a personality trait, and most organisations are letting it go invisible. * The Kindly Framework: five steps to stop treating your customer like a demographic. * Posting, journaling, frameworks - it's all the same muscle.

She helps first-time leaders survive the identity crisis nobody warned them about

Valeria Collu [https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriacollu/] on putting her financial career on hold, coaching yourself like your best friend, and why becoming a leader is nothing like getting promoted. 📚 What You'll Learn 1. How to run "time experiments" to figure out what energises you without blowing up your career in the process. 2. The calculated-risk question that makes scary transitions way less terrifying: "Can I go back if this doesn't work out?" 3. Why getting promoted into leadership is a completely different game and why most organisations fail their people right at that moment. ✍️ Some Takeaways * When you stop being challenged, that's information, not a sign to stay put. * Reframe failure as data, and make the risk feel smaller. * Burnout doesn't announce itself, and by the time it does, it's usually too late. * The first-time leader identity crisis is real and almost nobody talks about it.
