1 BIG Idea:
Leadership isn’t always planned—it often finds us in unexpected moments. The key to navigating these surprises is adaptability, confidence, and staying grounded in your Core Values.

3 Ways to Apply This:

  1. Clarify Expectations & Priorities – Before reacting, assess what’s needed, what you already bring to the table, and where you need support.
  2. Stay Curious & Open to Growth – Leadership isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about learning, asking for help, and embracing new challenges.
  3. Lead with Authenticity – Align your actions with your Core Values, communicate openly, and build trust in the process.

3 Questions to Ask Yourself:

  1. When have I stepped into leadership unexpectedly, and how did I handle it?
  2. What strengths and values can I lean on when navigating new leadership roles?
  3. How can I reframe an unexpected leadership opportunity as a chance for growth?

Tune in now to discover how purpose-driven women like you can confidently navigate unexpected leadership moments by staying adaptable and rooted in your Core Values.
