Your Leadership Toolkit for 2025: Articles, Podcasts, and a New Planner


Hi there.

It’s been a little quiet on my end lately, but for good reason! I’ve been working on something exciting: starting in 2025, I’m relaunching my newsletter with a fresh format designed to give you even more tools and insights you can use immediately with your teams. I can’t wait to share it with you, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, I’ve got some updates I’d love to share with you:

1. My Latest Forbes Coaches Council Articles

I’ve been diving deep into leadership and team dynamics over on Forbes, and here are two recent pieces I think you’ll find helpful:

2. Podcasts You’ll Want to Tune Into

I’ve been thrilled to share my insights on some excellent podcasts recently. Here’s where you can listen:

Topics we covered:

➢ How to handle a “difficult” manager

➢ Why building trust with your boss is critical for career growth

➢ How to influence without being the loudest voice in the room

Here, I discussed:

→ How leaders can broaden their perspectives to empower their teams

→ Fostering a true sense of purpose and belonging

→ How forward-thinking leadership and advanced AI tools are reshaping the future of teamwork

Both conversations were a blast, and I hope you’ll check them out when you have a moment.

3. My New Productivity Tool: The 15/30 Planner

I’m so excited to share that my 15/30 Planner: Your Evergreen Weekly, Quarterly, and Yearly Reflection Journal is now available on Amazon!

This planner is based on a system I’ve personally used for years to stay focused, prioritize what matters, and achieve my goals. It’s designed to help you:

  • Reflect on your wins and lessons learned
  • Plan your week with intention
  • Align your daily actions with long-term goals

If you’re ready to take control of your time and focus, you can order your copy here. And if you enjoy it, I’d be so grateful if you left a review – it would mean the world to me!

As we wrap up this year and head into a fresh start, I’m looking forward to sharing tools, strategies, and frameworks that will help you build self-sufficient, high-performing teams. Let’s make 2025 a year of growth and transformation – together.

Wishing you the happiest holiday season and a wonderful new year ahead!

Take care,

Daria

Hi Reader, A few months ago, I sat with a senior engineering leader — sharp, self-aware, running a large org inside a big tech company — and walked him through his GC Index profile. He looked at his results for about a minute and went straight to the lowest number. Four scores high, one sitting at a 3. And he did what almost everyone does the first time. He pointed at the 3 and asked me how to fix it. I didn't answer that. It's the wrong question. The GC Index doesn't measure how good you are...

Hi Reader, Daria's here. And today I want to talk to you about communities. Honestly, I think it's one of the best ways to learn, grow, and connect. It is so valuable — and also so hard to build. It starts with real energy. People show up. And then, somewhere around week six, it goes quiet. We tend to blame ourselves for that. Maybe we didn't have enough passion or needed more follow-through. But enthusiasm and passion aren't really the problem. The missing part in most communities is...

Hi Reader, Last week I joined Todd Michaud on his podcast, the Work Intelligence Loop, alongside my partner from AI Leader's Compass, Giorgio Zampirolo. Partway through, we hit a question that turned into a bit of a debate. Who should own AI in an organization? Three of us had three different answers. Todd went first, and he was direct about it. The CEO is the Chief AI Officer — who else could it possibly be? If you lead the organization, AI adoption is your job. It's too big and too...
