Hey There!

Full transparency, I am writing this email while watching women leap off a mountain and flip a gazillion times in the air before somehow...not dying? I love the Olympics and the way it makes me feel inside.

Invested. Connected. Proud. Impressed. Shocked. Focused. In Awe.

And as I watch the Women’s Big Air finals unfold 3,000 miles away, I find myself thinking about you—my 3,000-ish email friends—many of whom make me feel a lot of those same emotions.

Here’s why:

So many of us right now are boldly leaping off metaphorical mountains without being able to see the ground. We’re twisting in midair. Sometimes gracefully. Other times, like toddlers mid-tantrum. Sometimes strategically. Other times, just letting gravity do what gravity does.

It’s cold out here in 2026. So much feels frozen. Budgets are frozen. Hiring is frozen. Decision-making is frozen. Nervous systems are frozen.

And still…we keep jumping.

Not because we’re reckless. Because we care. Because we believe. Because the work matters. Because people and communities are depending on us. Because standing still isn’t actually safer.

Right now, at Reloveution, I'm leaning into the cold and focusing on how my magic and expertise can help keep more of us warm. To help us all get big air, stick the landing, and not die in a season marked by hard things. And ideally, to help us avoid breaking any bones or losing our souls in the process of leaping off mountains.

Even if we're shivering and afraid, I don't want us to lose our individual or collective ability to generate lift, to spin, to float, to dare, to create, to dream. And that requires hats, gloves, scarves, coats, helmets, and best-in-class snowboards. It also requires courage, open hearts, community, and trust.

I invite you to choose your main event and then join me and others on the mountain. I’ll bring the protective gear, and together we’ll train, leap, and land in ways that make us and the world proud—maybe even podium-worthy🏅.

🏂🏽 Mutual Aid Leadership Learning Initiative​

This is a shared-investment professional development model designed specifically for financially-constrained times. Instead of organizations trying to fund leadership development alone in a resource-scarce year, multiple teams will come together to share costs, learning, and access to leadership development supports. It's a flat $5,000 investment for up to ten participants. Learn more here and apply here by February 27.

🏒 RepairWorks

RepairWorks is my new (!) conflict transformation and repair practice, designed for individuals, teams, and organizations. We provide facilitated dialogues, mediation, and advisory support to help people and groups work through conflict rather than avoid it, weaponize it, or implode under its weight. If you're feeling tension between colleagues, across departments, or between staff and leadership, we want to help. We're sharing this with you before the rest of the world knows, and you can book a consultation now.

​
As you can see, there are many ways to go for Gold together right now, and I look forward to not only seeing you on the slopes but also flying through the air and confidently landing together. As always, please reach out with questions, ideas, or reactions.

Thanks for being on my team! I'm always in your cheering section!
