Leadership Strategy Sessions
Join Us On Our Next Call:
Wednesday, July 2, 2025 11:00am PDT (Zoom Details Coming Soon)
To be a leader means managing constant complexity. Shifting priorities, team dynamics, capacity challenges, and the pressure to execute while everything keeps changing.
Our Leadership Strategy Sessions are supportive, no-fluff monthly virtual meetings for leaders navigating the real challenges of modern team life.
Each session blends practical guidance, coaching, and peer Q&A. We tackle what's most timely and relevant, from clarifying team roles and managing capacity to leading through change and building trust.
You don't need to prep. You just need to show up as you are, with whatever's on your plate. These sessions are designed to meet you where you are.
Whether you're handling a team rebuild, strategy execution challenges, or leading through constant change, these sessions provide the practical support you need to lead with clarity and confidence.
What We'll Be Talking About This Summer
June: Turning Disruption into Strategic Insight
Research shows productivity drops 20% and distraction increases 45% from June through August1, but great leaders harness these shifts rather than resist them. We'll explore creating space for reflection and surfacing insights that shape a stronger second half of the year. (See insights from this call below)
July: Leading When Calendar Time Breaks
July should feel like a fresh start, but vacations and rolling absences make collaboration clunky and uncertain. This session explores rebuilding team rhythm when availability is lopsided and resetting expectations with clarity and grace. Join us on Wednesday, July 2, 2025 at 11am PDT. (Zoom details coming soon)
August: Reboarding Without the Whiplash
August snaps from late-summer energy to sudden urgency as Q3 becomes more than halfway over. We'll focus on helping your team land that shift with steadiness, reboarding individuals without losing grip on current work. (Join us on Wednesday, August 6, 2025 at 11am PDT. (Zoom details coming soon)

April 2025: Important Update About LSS Recordings: After thoughtful consideration, we've decided to make our Leadership Strategy Sessions non-recorded moving forward. We've observed that some of our most valuable conversations happen when participants feel free to discuss sensitive leadership challenges. Creating a confidential space where leaders can speak openly about complex situations will allow for deeper, more authentic conversations that benefit everyone. Moving forward we will only record the early thought starter or lesson and these will be available only to paid subscribers.
