Self-reflection is not just a buzzword; it’s a powerful tool for personal growth. Dr. Lisa Summerour emphasizes that understanding where you’ve been is crucial to determining where you’re going. When going through a breakup or divorce, take the time to reflect honestly on your experiences, identify your patterns, learn from past mistakes, and make better informed decisions for your future. This process of reflection enables you to align your actions with your values, ensuring that your journey is both meaningful and intentional.

In today’s world, where leadership styles are rapidly evolving, Dr. Summerour stresses the importance of authenticity. Being an authentic leader means staying true to who you are, even when faced with challenges. This authenticity not only builds trust with those you lead but also fosters an environment where others feel empowered to express their true selves. Dr. Summerour shares practical tips on how to maintain authenticity in leadership, even in the most trying circumstances.

Every leader faces challenges, but it’s how you respond to those setbacks that defines your success. Dr. Summerour discusses her own experiences with adversity and how she turned these challenges into opportunities for growth. She offers actionable strategies for overcoming obstacles, encouraging listeners to view setbacks as stepping stones rather than roadblocks. By adopting this mindset, you can transform challenges into catalysts for personal and professional development.

This week, you’ll learn the role of reflection in personal and professional growth, the significance of authenticity in effective leadership and practical strategies to overcome and learn from setbacks.

Corey Andrew Powell Cultural Commentator / Content Producer

Hey there! My name is Corey Andrew Powell. I'm a creative chameleon with a knack for donning multiple hats. From crafting compelling copy and producing engaging content to rocking the mic as a podcast host and weaving musical magic, I've got a diverse skill set that keeps things interesting.

My journey kicked off in 2011 at The Vitamin Shoppe, where I started as a copywriter and quickly found myself caught up in the whirlwind of rebranding campaigns, product development, and retail store expansions. Two years of hard work later, I proudly stepped into the role of Manager of Marketing Copy, steering the ship through the exciting waters of marketing creativity.

After three years of freelancing, in 2019 I joined the incredible team at the National Society of Leadership & Success ( NSLS), stepping into the role of Content Manager and Content Producer for the nation's largest leadership honor society, with over 1.3 million inspiring members.

In 2021 I became the proud host of the NSLS's beloved podcast, 'Motivational Mondays'! How cool is that? In my debut episode, I had the absolute honor of chatting with Tokyo Olympics silver-medalist Raven 'The Hulk' Saunders. We dove deep into the world of professional sports and had a heart-to-heart about the importance of mental health. Our audience has grown exponentially to over 250,000 listeners and subscribers.

My creative life has been an incredible journey thus far, and I’m always intrigued by what the future holds.
