Completion Over Competition, Leading with Purpose, and Running Marathons as a Non-Athlete with Lael Oldmixon

In this episode of Leadership Huddle, I chat with Lael Oldmixon, Executive Director of the Education Trust of Alaska, to explore what it means to lead with clarity, community, and just the right amount of cardio.Lael shares lessons from her leadership journey and we talk about the mindset shift from doing it all yourself to truly leveraging your team, and how embracing the idea of completion over competition has shaped her approach to work and life.Also: what happens when a self-proclaimed “non-athlete” decides to run four marathons and teach indoor cycling classes? (Spoiler: a lot of humility and a surprising amount of fun.)This conversation is full of heart, humor, and practical wisdom for anyone looking to lead with more purpose and a bit less pressure.Connect with Lael:LinkedIn | Alaska529Plan.com
