2026/01/05

Alignment is one of the most overused words in leadership and one of the most misunderstood. Many leaders assume alignment means feeling peaceful, settled, or motivated. But when leadership starts to feel heavy, those definitions don’t explain what’s actually happening.In this episode, we talk about alignment beneath the surface. Not as an emotion or mindset, but as a system. A leadership operating system that either supports the weight you’re carrying now or quietly creates friction that drains

As one season closes and another begins, many leaders feel pressure to move faster, reset harder, and push forward. But resilient leaders don’t prepare for what’s next by speeding up. They prepare by getting steadier.In this episode, I bring together the core themes from the Resilient Leader series and walk through three things grounded leaders do before stepping into a new season. Not to hype themselves up, but to lead with clarity, intention, and resolve. This conversation applies whether you’re

Hey friend, this is a quieter episode. A real conversation, leader to leader. As the holidays slow things down for many people, leaders are often still carrying decisions, responsibility, and emotional weight in the background. Today, I wanted to pause and name that — and remind you what resilient leadership really looks like in seasons like this.“The quiet weight leaders carry isn’t a flaw. It’s responsibility.” ~Tami Imlay Want to Go Deeper? If you’re ready to head into the new year with more

Today, we’re talking about something most leaders underestimate, but EVERY team feels. Before you ever set direction, goals, or expectations, you’re already shaping the environment your team operates in. In this episode, I’m breaking down why your presence matters more than you think, how emotional regulation shows up in real leadership decisions, and what it actually looks like to lead with calm and resolve when things get hard.💬 “You don’t control the storm — but you absolutely set the weather.”

Today we are diving into part 2, but first… In Part 1, we talked about why your goals keep slipping and why you feel exhausted even when you think you’re “resting.” Today we’re going deeper — into the leadership patterns, clarity gaps, and subtle habits you don’t always notice… but absolutely shape everything about how you lead.

Today we’re talking about one of the hardest and most important parts of leadership: holding high standards and leading with genuine compassion. This is the backbone of a resilient team — and honestly, it’s the part most leaders secretly struggle with. I’m sharing a story from my Air Force days that completely shifted how I understand ethical leadership, and what it really looks like to care deeply without lowering the bar.“Compassion without standards becomes chaos.

Today we’re talking about the kind of resilience no one applauds because no one sees it. The quiet reps. The basics. The “Tuesday mornings” that actually shape how you lead when everything tilts. I’m sharing the moment I finally understood what the military had been teaching me all along… plus one Kobe Bryant story that every leader needs to hear.💬 “Resilience isn’t built in the trauma — it’s built on Tuesday mornings.” Want to Go Deeper?

Crisis doesn’t reveal your plan — it reveals your posture.Nobody hands you a syllabus for crisis leadership. It just shows up, taps you on the shoulder and says "you're up." In this first episode of our Resilient Leadership series, we're diving into what actually happens when everything shifts and your team is looking at you, not the plan. I share my experience on an Air Force crisis response team and why the person with the biggest title isn't always who you want leading when chaos hits. Plus,

You know that feeling when you walk into a room and instantly know who's going to irritate you? Or when feedback makes your body tense before your brain even processes the words? That's not intuition. That's your Leadership Lens at work. Today I'm pulling back the curtain on the invisible filter that's making your decisions before you even realize it, and why this is the real reason all those leadership books aren't fixing what you thought they would.💬 "Most leaders spend their whole careers

You're a growth-minded leader. You see possibilities everywhere. You believe your team can do more, be more, achieve more.So why does it feel like you're the only one? Why does every conversation about change feel like pushing a boulder uphill? Why do your ideas land with silence? Why does it feel like you're dragging them forward instead of leading them there? You've probably told yourself: "They're just stuck. They're comfortable. They don't want to grow." But what if that's not the real

Hey Friend! You've been told you need executive presence. Stand taller. Speak with authority. Dress the part. Master your vocal tonality. Control the room. But here's what nobody's saying: if you're exhausted from being "on" all the time, if you're walking into the boardroom looking the part but feeling like an imposter inside, the problem isn't your presence. The problem is you're performing a role instead of embodying who you actually are. I've worked with dozens of C-suite and government leaders

Can I be honest? I sat down to record this episode with absolutely nothing. Zero inspiration. My first thought? "Great, Tami. You teach people about alignment and you can't even show up for your own work."But here's what I realized: that feeling wasn't writer's block. It was my soul tapping me on the shoulder saying, "We need to talk."

Another book, another certification, another workshop promising the breakthrough you've been searching for? Here's what nobody tells you: every time you reach for another quick fix, you're not just spending money or time. You're staying stuck in the same patterns that got you here in the first place.

They're not jumping from framework to framework. They've mastered five simple habits that have nothing to do with business books and everything to do with becoming the person others naturally want to follow.

2025/09/22

Hey Friend!We throw around words like they're interchangeable when they're not—and the difference matters. Weather vs. climate. Listening vs. hearing. Motion vs. progress. In leadership, we do this with self-awareness and emotional intelligence, treating them like synonyms when they're actually two distinct capabilities. I learned this the hard way as a young lieutenant walking into a room full of colonels and generals during a communication outage, knowing my triggers but needing to apply that

Why Most Leaders Fail at Emotional Intelligence (And the 5-Step System That Actually Works)Hey Friend! Building emotional intelligence is like building a house—and most leaders are trying to pick paint colors before laying the foundation. I realized this when I built my house on 5 acres in Oklahoma. My excitement about fixtures and finishes had to wait because my builder reminded me: "First we pick the elevation and style. That informs everything else."

Hey Friend!Are you watching good people disengage or leave your team? Seeing departments operate like separate islands instead of one cohesive unit? The problem isn't your strategy or your people—it's that you're leading through your own lens instead of seeing things through theirs. After two decades of guiding executives through team dynamics, I can tell you the leaders who master this aren't the ones with the most experience.

Hey Friend! Ever feel like you're checking all the boxes but still spinning your wheels? Like your team is busy but not actually getting anywhere meaningful? You're not behind, and you're definitely not lazy—but something's clouding your clarity and making you second-guess every move. After two decades of leadership coaching, I've discovered one of the most overlooked reasons high-capacity leaders feel scattered: time focus. It's not about productivity—it's about perspective.

Hey Friend!Ever catch yourself thinking you need to have it all figured out before stepping into bigger leadership? I recorded this episode twice (tech crashed the first time—apparently even I don't have all the answers about equipment!) because this message hit me so hard on a Sunday drive. If you're waiting for complete clarity before you lead, you're actually disqualifying yourself from being the leader your team needs most. Want to Go Deeper?
