The Team Alignment Playbook: 3 Strategies to Turn Siloed Teams into Collaborative Powerhouses

💰 Organizations lose an average of $109M for every $1B spent on projects because teams aren't aligned on goals and ex*****on.

That's more than $2M a week slipping through the cracks.

The default?
👉🏼 Another well-intentioned offsite with great energy but little follow-through
👉🏼 More one-and-done training
👉🏼 More meetings, more emails, more communication

It feels like progress.
But the same conversations keep happening.

In this session, I'll share why misalignment persists and three practical strategies leaders can use to build teams that execute with clarity, collaborate with trust, and deliver stronger results.

📍 Then join me on Thursday, September 10

Culture Isn't a Perk. It's a Strategy.

I'll be joining an incredible panel including Amanda Austin, Wendy Brand, and Devin C Hughes as we explore what it really takes to build cultures that drive engagement, retention, and performance.

If you'll be in Spokane, I'd love to connect. Hope to see you there!

Yesterday I turned 45. I was celebrating with grizzly bears in Glacier National Park.

Birthdays have a funny way of making you reflect.

This year, I realized something I'd never really thought about before.

We spend every birthday celebrating the person who arrived.

We rarely stop to celebrate the person who made that arrival possible.

45 years ago, my mom had a plan: take a month off before I arrived. Rest. Prepare.

I had other plans.

I showed up the day after her last day of work.

So much for that month off! 😊

Now that I'm a mother myself, I understand so much more about what those early years must have been like for her.

It's impossible to fully appreciate everything your parents did for you until you find yourself doing those same things for your own children.

My mom worked two jobs, often 16-hour days, six days a week. Somehow, in between, she still cooked our meals, kept our home running, drove three kids everywhere we needed to be, and made sure we always knew we were loved.

She didn't just give me life. She showed me how to live it.

She taught me what resilience looks like.

She taught me what unconditional love looks like.

And she showed me the kind of mother I wanted to become.

So as I celebrate another year of life, I also want to celebrate the woman who gave me mine.

Thank you, Mom, for everything you gave long before I was old enough to appreciate it, every lesson you taught without saying a word, and for loving me through every version of myself... even the ones that weren't easy to love. 😇

Without you, there wouldn't have been a birthday for me to celebrate.

I hope you know how grateful I am to be your daughter. ❤️

Super excited to share a success story of a client engagement that we recently completed!

We supported a 40-person regional association that was navigating constant change, heavy workloads, and rising stress.

Through our Rapid Response Resilience Program, in just 90 days, they achieved:

✅ 16.9% improvement in Wellbeing, Stress & Burnout Prevention

✅ 6.2% improvement in Adapting to Change

✅ 5.5% improvement in Navigating Uncertainty & Ambiguity

The metrics matter less than what they represent:

The team changed how they worked.

They made more time to restore energy.

They were able to catch stress before it became overwhelm.

That's resilience. And we're so proud to be a part of their journey!

Is your organization going through tremendous amounts of change?

We'd be happy to connect and share more details about how we help organizations, so that if and when you need support with the types of things we do, you'll already have us in your back pocket!

You are more than your title.

Lately, it feels like every time I open LinkedIn, another talented person is sharing that they've been laid off.

If you've recently lost your job, the financial stress is real. The uncertainty is real. The grief is real.

But one thing I hope you don't lose is your sense of self.

A title is something you hold. A company is somewhere you work. Neither defines who you are.

Your judgment. Your character. Your integrity. Your relationships. Those things will continue to belong to you, even when the title doesn't.

Give yourself permission to grieve. Then, when you're ready, lean on your network. Ask for help. Let people support you.

You are more than your title. You are more than the company you work for. Always.

BIG HUGS,

Amy

Full circle moment!! A few years ago, my firm had our first opportunity to partner with Kenvue, and Reed Harris was the leader who championed bringing us in.

Since then, we've had the privilege of supporting multiple Kenvue teams.

This week, I returned to Kenvue's beautiful new headquarters to support the Kenvue North America People Team during their onsite, and Reed was again the leader who championed bringing us in.

We spent time together exploring how to build Mental Fitness to lead through significant organizational change.

My favorite moment: someone said to me, "My mind is blown! Everyone at Kenvue needs to experience this.'

Thank you, Reed, for your continued trust and partnership, and thank you to the entire Kenvue NA People Team for your openness, engagement, and willingness to invest in yourselves and one another.

As organizations continue to navigate constant change, technical skills alone aren't enough. The leaders who thrive will be those who strengthen the mental fitness to respond with clarity, resilience, and intention.

"You have to do all of your fun when you're not dead."

Advice from my four-year-old.

Simple. Funny. Surprisingly profound.

We postpone the things that actually matter because we're focused on the next deadline, the next meeting, the next goal.

We'll spend more time with family after this project.

We'll take the vacation next quarter.

We'll slow down once things settle down.

But let's be real: When do things ever really slow down?

Work matters. Building something meaningful matters.

But no one lies awake wishing they'd answered a few more emails.

They wish they'd spent more time with the people that matter.

Truthfully: I'd planned to spend Friday catching up on work since we have the day off for the Fourth.

So when my husband suggested a family trip to the lake instead, my first thought was: But my to-do list.

After hearing my little guy's advice last night, I turned to my husband and said, "He's right. Let's do it."

The work will still be there Monday.

These moments won't.

What's one thing you've been putting off until "later" that actually deserves your time today?

Excited to share that I'll be speaking at ASAE The Center for Association Leadership's Annual Meeting & Exposition in Indianapolis... not once, but twice. 🎉

👉🏼 August 15 | Executive-Level Preconference Lab

Mastering Mental Fitness for Purposeful Leadership

👉🏼 August 16 | Concurrent Session

Mastering the Art of Celebrating Wins

Association leaders are being asked to do more than ever.

👇🏼

Lead through uncertainty.

Navigate constant change.

Keep teams engaged.

Deliver results with limited resources.

The default?

👉🏼 Push through the pressure because there's always another fire to put out.

👉🏼 Save reflection and celebration for when "things slow down."

👉🏼 Rarely pause to recognize how far you've come.

It feels productive.

But over time, resilience erodes, motivation declines, and teams lose the energy and perspective needed to sustain high performance.

That's why I'm excited to dive into two leadership capabilities that don't get enough attention:

🧠 Building the mental fitness to lead purposefully under pressure.

🎉 Creating a culture where celebrating wins fuels confidence, resilience, and sustained performance.

If you'll be in Indianapolis, I'd love to connect. Hope to see you there!

I'm still buzzing from speaking at American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP)'s Safety 26 Conference.

My session was slotted for 8am on day 3.

Last day of the conference.

18 sessions running simultaneously.

I told myself: whoever shows up, will be the right people to show up.

Nearly 200 "right people" showed up for my session:

👇🏼

Focus Under Pressure: 3 Ways Safety Leaders Can Strengthen Mental Fitness without Another "Wellness Fix" that Falls Flat

What does that tell me?

👉🏼 Leaders are under pressure.

👉🏼 Their teams are under pressure.

👉🏼 And they want to address the root cause.

Because too often, we're throwing solutions at symptom.

Someone looks tired? Give them sleep tips.

Someone seem overwhelmed? Hand them a meditation app.

Someone cracking under the pressure? Give them a day off.

💡 Truth is: these treat the symptoms. Not the root cause.

Here's what I left this safety audience with:

👇🏼

We investigate incidents after they happen.

But how often do we examine the daily pressure people are operating under before the incident occurs?

The feedback since my session has been overwhelming.

👉🏼 Someone flagged me on the escalator as we moved in opposite directions just to say:

"Your session has been the best session I've attended the whole conference."

👉🏼 One attendee wrote to tell me that they told everyone about my session during lunch and can't wait to get back to the office on Monday to share with teammates.

That's what matters most: That the conversations continue after people leave the room.

A special thank you to Jason Atwell, CSP for taking the picture of me with the audience to show my kiddo.

This morning I met up with my husband and kids, who flew out to California.

My four-year-old took one look at the picture and said:

"Wow, Mommy. That's a lot of people."

And suddenly "mommy leaving early" for California made a lot more sense to him. 😊

If you were in the room yesterday: We're just getting started.

↳ Join Us for Part II - We'll continue the conversation with a deeper dive into the session from ASSP

↳ Bring The Presentation to Your Team - Request a complimentary live encore of this presentation for your organization.

(limited spots available)

↳ Schedule a 1:1 — Navigating a major transition or change initiative in the next 30–60–90 days and want to maintain safety, wellbeing and performance? Let's talk.

I spent five days in silence.

No phone. No books. No journal. No talking.

I thought I was going to learn about meditation.

Instead, I learned about attention.

Somewhere between the neck pain from trying to meditate "perfectly," getting caught in a downpour, and dropping everything to play with my 4-year-old when I got home, I realized

👇🏼

I had been confusing volume with value, urgency with importance, and busyness with progress.

We give our attention to every fire, every detail, every shiny idea, every imagined emergency.

And somewhere in all of that, we lose the thread of what actually matters.

💡 What if the most important thing is to get ruthlessly clear on what actually matters and deserves your attention... and let everything else go?

I wrote about what five days of silence taught me about leadership, attention, and why when everything feels important, nothing is.
