What do you do when life hands you a layoff, single parenthood, and a house full of 28 years’ worth of memories… all at once?
In this episode of Dancing in the Discomfort Zone, I sit down with organizational change powerhouse Serena Diamond (www.diamondsolutionsgroupllc.com) —former IBM exec turned entrepreneur—who shares how she navigated a major life and career pivot by betting on the one person she could trust: herself.
From leadership lessons in the trenches of corporate transformation to the deeply personal art of letting go, Serena brings the insight, the heart, and the real talk.
Whether you’re leading a team through change or leading yourself through a reinvention, this episode is full of wisdom you’ll want in your back pocket.
What You’ll Take Away:
- Why self-trust is your most valuable asset in times of change
- How curiosity (not control) builds team loyalty and growth
- What downsizing your life can teach you about leadership
- Why empathy and accountability aren’t opposites—they’re a power duo
- How to stop doing it your way and let others rise
