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! When I started as a manager, I loved it when people agreed with me. Oh no, I wasn't arrogant. At least, I didn't think so at the time. For me, it felt like confirmation. Like I was reading the room correctly, making good calls, earning trust. Then, a leadership program for a bank I'd invested real time and energy in failed. And in the aftermath, I found out that several people on my team had seen it coming. They'd had concerns. Real ones. And they hadn't said a word — because they...

Hi Reader, What is the most important leadership job right now? In my work with leaders, helping them build strong, engaged teams, I came to the conclusion that the most important leadership job today is to decrease complexity. Not accelerating adoption. Not even increasing capability. But reducing the noise. I was reminded of this in a recent conversation with Martin Beischl, VP of People and Culture, on the Built by People Leaders podcast. He shared his personal approach: "AI implemented in...

Hi Reader, A lawyer in Australia recently thought they'd cracked the code on AI safety. They used Claude AI to research case law. Then—because one AI wasn't enough—they "validated" everything with Microsoft Copilot. Belt and braces. Double-checking. The responsible thing to do. Then they confidently submitted their brief to federal court. All case citations? Completely fabricated. None of them existed. Justice Arran Gerrard was… not amused. He referred the lawyer to the Legal Practice Board...
