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:

• ​The Hidden Link Between Psychological Safety and Preventing Burnout in High-Performing Teams: Creating psychological safety isn’t just a “nice-to-have” – it’s essential for building sustainable success in high-performing teams. I explore why it matters and how you can foster this critical culture.
• ​How Good Leaders Can Limit Team Growth: Sometimes, even the best leaders fall into traps that unintentionally hold their teams back. In this article, I discuss how to overcome these pitfalls and create self-sufficient, thriving teams.

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:

• ​From a Woman to a Leader Podcast​

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

• ​The ET Project with Wayne Brown​

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
