Hey Reader,

Okay, real talk. Have you ever walked out of a meeting thinking, "I crushed that," only to later realize...

"Wait, maybe I didn’t?" 🙃

Same here.

I once worked on a big project with a CEO, and every meeting, we’d leave thinking we were on the same page, only to realize later that we weren’t even in the same chapter.

I thought we were on the same wavelength, but turns out, I was totally off.

The culprit? My own lack of self-awareness.

If I’d taken a second to adjust my communication style, we probably could have saved ourselves a ton of headaches.

Lesson learned: self-awareness is key.

In my latest article, I shared five simple ways to boost your self-awareness as a leader.

I created an infographic to summarize what I learned.

Upgrade Your Leadership Skills, Level Up Your Career!

Want to be the kind of leader that inspires, motivates, and gets things done?

I want to help you by helping you first determine your leadership style. I'm still accepting clients for DISC assessments.

A DISC assessment is a powerful tool that helps you understand your natural communication and leadership tendencies. It breaks down your behavior into four key types—Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness—so you can recognize your strengths and growth areas.

By understanding your DISC profile, you can improve how you interact with your team, make better decisions, and lead with more confidence.

Book a DISC assessment with me—now only at $37 for the month of October (normally $197).

Connect with Donna on LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube Hey Reader, Ever heard of Steve Jobs? Yeah, the guy who revolutionized tech, design, and pretty much how we live our lives today. Yeah you probably know who he is... During the early days of Apple, Steve’s confidence in his vision sometimes caused him to overlook his team’s concerns or misjudge what customers truly needed. Sure, his boldness brought innovation, but it also caused setbacks—because blind spots aren’t just for the...

are you double-minded?

Connect with Donna on LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube Hey Reader, Have you ever felt like you’re stuck between two choices, questioning every decision, and worrying about which way to go? 😵💫 This “double-mindedness” is something we don’t talk about enough in leadership, yet it’s so common—and I’ve been there myself. It’s that feeling of second-guessing, of being unsure if you’re making the right call, and it doesn’t just affect you—it impacts everyone around you. I remember reading...

How to make people fall in love with you

Connect with Donna on LinkedIn | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube Hey Reader, Can I share something a bit personal? 🫣 For the longest time, I thought being a great communicator meant having all the right words, knowing exactly what to say, and basically being the star of every convo. I was that person who, mid-conversation, was already crafting my next brilliant response while the other person was still talking. Is this you too? It wasn’t until someone told me, “You’re such a good listener,”...
