Letter to Myself

March 6, 2026

That’s the premise behind Joel Chua’s CNA radio show and podcast, “Letter to Myself” – and it was terrific to be Joel’s guest.

We had a great chat, covering both professional and personal.

💼 *Professionally*, we talked about the realities leaders don’t always say out loud – like self-doubt in high achievers, the loneliness that can come with high visibility, and what it really takes to stay coachable at the top.

 

I shared strategies for high-stakes leaders, including:
➡️ Why does imposter syndrome show up most in high performers?
➡️ What is the single most important choice the most successful leaders make – over and over again?

💛 *Personally*, I reflected on the moments that shaped my career – from leaving a senior role at a Fortune 100 so I could launch my own business… to now almost 24 years later coaching C-Suite leaders through succession, self-doubt (yes, it’s not uncommon), and the weight that can come with high-stakes pressures.

❓I’d love to hear from you: If YOU could write one sentence back to your younger self, what would you say?
