218: You Don't Have a Time Problem - You Have an Energy Problem with Jessica DeLorenzo
What if I told you that you don’t actually have a time problem—you have an energy problem? Jessica DeLorenzo is the Chief Human Resources Officer at Kimball Electronics. And she believes energy, not time, is the leader's most valuable asset. Jessica challenges the hustle culture mindset and encourages leaders to take ownership of their energy. Saying “I don't have time” often really means “I’m not managing my energy.” The root issue most leaders face is not the number of hours in the day, but the quality of the energy you bring to those hours. We get honest about the myth of hustle, the power of self-awareness, and the radical act of resetting boundaries at work. This episode is about giving you permission to pause, recharge, and embrace self-compassion as a true leadership strategy. Ready to discover a new lens for success, one that’s measured by impact—not output or hours? Leadership Lessons in This Episode (00:00) What if Time isn’t Your Problem? (02:43) The Major Mindset Shift: It’s not about the amount of time, it’s about the quality of our time (03:52) How to Break the “I don’t have time” Excuse and Take Back Control (07:37) What Does it Mean to Use Energy as a Strategic Asset in Leadership? (10:20) How Self-Awareness Unlocks Better Energy Decisions (12:22) Teaching People How to Treat Us (14:42) Self-Compassion is an Energy Management Strategy (19:42) Defining “Rest” for Yourself (24:32) Jessica’s Energy Management Tool (29:38) How to Read and Influence the Energy of People Around You (31:06) Emotional Intelligence in Meetings: Shifting team energy for better outcomes (33:52) Reflection Challenge: What’s one thing you can do TODAY to renew your energy?

216: Leading Without a Map with Kate Pangallo
Have you ever been in that place where you’ve felt like the vision wasn’t being given to you, your goals weren’t clear, or the strategy wasn’t focused, so you couldn’t lead? Kate Pangallo has built her career navigating that tension, leading through constant change, often without a clear roadmap. And she has had to decide again and again what part she will play in extending a sense of vision and stability to others when it hasn’t been given to her. We’re all looking for stability and comfort, but change is the only constant we can expect. Every leader who’s ever stood in the messiness of change has felt the ground shift right beneath their feet. In those moments, the only thing you can control is your response. The best shot we have at predicting our future is to step up and create it. That requires us to take responsibility for the next step, even when there is no guarantee it is the right one. Focusing on the next step gives you power and lessens the overwhelm. Where in your life are you waiting for stability that may never come? What is the next step you need to take to create your future? Episode Highlights (00:00) How do you lead when you haven’t been given a clear vision, strategy, or goals? (02:55) What you can control when change hits (05:27) Kate Pangallo’s story: Navigating layoffs, leadership changes, and personal crisis (13:12) How to act instead of waiting, shifting from victim to victor (19:06) Two anchors for leadership during uncertainty (25:09) What to do when you haven’t been given a vision or goals (31:00) The magic of focusing on the next right step, versus overwhelming yourself (33:07) Concrete tools for keeping calm and steady during times of instability (38:20) Celebrating wins and showing grace to yourself and others in tough times Connect with Kate Pangallo About Andrea Butcher Andrea Butcher is a visionary business leader, executive coach, and keynote speaker—she empowers leaders to gain clarity through the chaos by being MORE of who they already are.

215: Reinventing Success - When It's "Just Me" with Kevin Lingg

215: Reinventing Success - When It's "Just Me" with Kevin Lingg
What happens when the very idea of “success” you’ve chased your whole life suddenly disappears? Maybe you’re standing at a career crossroads and wondering, “Who am I if I’m not climbing the next mountain?” The pressure to “level up” can be exhausting. If you’re feeling that nudge to redefine success and finally build a life that feels like yours, this episode is for you. Meet Kevin Lingg, founder of Loaded Dough Cookie Co. After more than 20 years in leadership roles, Kevin's life and career took an unexpected turn. He lost his job. And like many of us, he thought the next step was to find another one, a bigger role, a new challenge, another title. Underneath that drive was a lot of ego. At the time, Kevin had a cookie business, a small, joyful side venture he couldn't imagine turning into his next chapter. It felt too small. But eventually, he let go of what success was supposed to look like and started asking a different question — What if smaller could actually mean freer? Kevin shares what he's learned about redefining identity, letting go of ego to embrace a more fulfilling path, and applying decades of leadership lessons when you are your own team of one. We’re not romanticizing loss or glossing over real fears about money, ego, and uncertainty. We’re exploring what it means to redefine success on your own terms, without burning the boats or taking risks that don’t fit your wiring. Chapter Highlights (00:00) What happens when everything you've built your identity around suddenly disappears? (03:50) How we get caught in the trap of leveling up and achieving “more” (05:51) How smart money moves create future options (10:22) Turning “just a fun project” into a sustainable business without all the pressure (20:10) The mindset shift Kevin made about his own value (21:36) Kevin’s step-by-step, low-risk approach to creating a business that fit his life (26:16) What to do when you’re feeling the nudge to leave your corporate role Connect with Kevin Lingg About Andrea Butcher Andrea Butcher is a visionary business leader, executive coach, and keynote speaker—she empowers leaders to gain clarity through the chaos by being MORE of who they already are.
