168. Become A Better Leader

“A leader is a dealer in hope.”

-Napoleon Bonaparte

Excited to announce that Turmeric & Tequila will be focusing on all things leadership- for leaders, by leaders. We have and will continue to bring out the trail blazing graceful disruptors and will be adding as many leadership lessons, tips, tricks, teachings, and more to the mix. Why? Because there is absolutely one thing we need in this new year and moving forward- STRONG LEADERS. Leaderships is about personal responsibility, so let’s level up together! Change yourself, change the world.

Today we will be kicking this focus off with an article by The Harvard Review, “Anyone Can Learn To Be A Better Leader” where we will breakdown new age, practical leadership skills and situations. Then we will close out with “8 Ways To Become A Better Leader” by Ottawa University. Leaderships is not just for the professional world, you can lead your family, friends, church, siblings, and most importantly, yourself. Leadership is power and it requires constant improvement and responsibility. Influencers are a real thing (as you know we talk about this on T&T all the time), so let’s work to understand our own influence (the responsibility part) in this world and how we can level up to better inspire those around us. Young or old, big or small, whatever the case may be, you lead at some point in the day whether you know it or not- let’s get conscious and make positive change… personally and professionally.

Highlights:

Leadership. Personal responsibility. Leveling up. New age leadership and taking on a human based approached. Collaboration over coercion. Humans over machines. Listening, feeling, and believing. Team building, buying in, and enjoying the process. Becoming a better leader, becoming a better person.

166. Harry & Meghan, Royal Tea:)

“Like, how did we end up here?”

– Harry

Ok, I am not really one that keeps up with what is going on over the pond in regards to the Royal Family, but I am one for disruption, even if lacking grace. SO, I had to check out the most recent Royal Netflix doc, Harry & Meghan, to see what all the hype what about. I wasn’t so much interested in the gossip as I was the history- and the doc did not disappoint in that aspect, in my opinion! I of course had to get T&T pseudo co-host and fellow pop culture enthusiasts, The Ashley Simone Knight, to come on and give her take as well. This is a fun one that breaks down the documentary and English tradition from our perceptive. You do not need to have seen the doc to enjoy this convo, in fact, this might just be the cliff notes to save you some time if you haven’t seen it. Our main question in this convo- when does tradition no longer become the excuse for what is now considered bad behavior? Progress has happened even if hard to see sometimes, but are some holding us back? We don’t have hard answers, but we do have some hot takes. Conversation, awareness, and perspective are always keys to moving this world in a more unified, equal direction- regardless of what side of the fence you are on- so at minimum, it’s nice to hear H&M’s take and gain some history in the meantime… so the rest of us can choose what we do and don’t buy into. One thing is true, the power is in the people… even if it takes time to make it right. Keep faith in the larger audience at hand.

This one is a video, so be sure to check us out on You Tube!

Highlights:

Harry. Meghan. England and the Commonwealth. Conversation, awareness, and perspective. Racism, tradition, and bad behavior. Progress, evolution, and the ones standing up for change… and the ones holding us back. Applied meaning and realization. Changing the narrative and blazing trail. Agreeing, disagreeing, and the power of the next generation.

165. Year in Review AND Year in Preview- 2023

“Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.”

-Oprah Winfrey

Happy New Year- we are HERE! That means you know what time it is… time to welcome back BFF, pseudo T&T Co-Host and fellow biz boss, Ashley Knight, to the T&T mic to do our annual “Year In Review” podcast! Ashley and I have been very intentional about personal and professional evolution over that past few years and it’s exciting to check in annually to see where the we AND the world are at?! Enjoy this convo of laughs, eye rolls, gratitude, success, failure, and inspiration.

Our yearly check in is not about religion, politics, or resolutions, it’s about facilitating an attainable, sustainable, intentional, and inspiring vision for ourselves as individuals. If we can all dial ourselves in individually, perhaps collectively we can move the world in the right direction. We hope that the T&T Review + Preview: Intentions/ Goals Work Sheet HERE offers you an opportunity to pause for your own self-reflection and intentions for this gift we call time, in this new year! Cheers, XO.
