Pressure changes things.
That’s exactly why we put this team in an escape room.
This was the final experience of the LEAD Series, my signature leadership workshop — and we were intentionally testing leadership under pressure.
After weeks of building leadership presence, alignment, and decision-making, I wanted to see what would happen when the clock started ticking.
No slides.
No prep.
Just a team figuring it out.
And you could feel the shift.
Communication sharpened.
Some people stepped up.
Some got quieter.
Some adjusted quickly when something didn’t work.
That’s what pressure does.
It doesn’t create leadership.
It reveals it.
And what shows up in a room like that looks a lot like what leaders face every day.
Deadlines.
Uncertainty.
Limited information.
The need to decide and move.
It was fun, absolutely.
But it was also real.
And yes, both teams made it out in time.👏🏽
Really proud of this group and the growth I’ve seen over the past few weeks. Looking forward to continuing the work 🚀
