How you show up matters. And showing up as your whole self? That changes everything.
This week on Be The Good with Kate, we’re joined by the powerhouse Dr. Lynette M. Fraga: leadership coach, strategic consultant, speaker, and founder of Fiercely Forward, LLC. With over 30 years of experience in mission-driven work spanning nonprofits, education, federal programs, and even a tech startup, Lynette brings heart and deep insight into what it means to lead with authenticity and impact.
From her beginnings in early childhood classrooms to becoming the CEO of Child Care Aware of America, Dr. Fraga’s journey is a testament to the evolving nature of careers -- and the power of aligning your work with your values.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why a career doesn’t have to be just one thing
- How digging deep into yourself can unlock meaningful impact (a recurring theme around here, anyone?!)
- The power of curiosity in leadership and connection
- Why putting people at the center is the key to real, sustainable progress
- What it means to embrace “the art of the possible” in your life and work
If you've ever felt boxed in by titles, expectations, or the “shoulds” of a traditional path, this conversation will open your eyes to what’s possible when you lead with intention and heart.
Lynette reminds us that we each have a role to play in creating positive change—and it starts with showing up fully, for ourselves and others.
