SAIL: for Leaders in Work & Life

My friends over at Nectar just named my book, F*ck Your Office Snacks, as one of the best! And, I’m not surprised but my friend and colleague Tamica Sears’ book (How to Tell if You’re an A**hole Boss) is on there too! You should go pick up copies of them both, right now… ???????? What a great way to close out the week! Thanks, Nextar and thanks Rebecca Noori for the honor. #hr #notthehrlady #books #mustread #author

For those wondering… she had the time of her life! And, got to see my SAIL Leadership Intensive first hand. It was a proud moment to share my work with a woman who helped shape it. Thank you for celebrating this Queen’s 80 years of life with me. Virgin Voyages allowed her to make no decisions with everything included, feel safe and welcomed by friendly passengers and crew. And, became best friends with the resident Diva (the ships “cruise director” read: drag queen). It was a time… new friendships made, self-discoveries happened and the growth was nearly instant. Join us next time, won’t you? Make time for you, your journey and answer your “now what” questions. #notthehrlady #sail #virginvoyages #leadership #selfcare #learning

This is your wake-up call. Not the HR Lady's SAIL retreat is wrapping up, and let me be brutally honest... if you weren’t here, you missed out. This wasn’t just another fluffy “leadership retreat & cruise.” We stripped leadership down to the raw essentials... self-care, accountability, influence, learning... and rebuilt it in a way that’s actually sustainable. The breakthroughs we’ve had onboard? Life-changing. I’ve seen leaders who walked on this ship with stress written all over their faces leave with clarity, purpose, and a plan to lead without sacrificing themselves. Virgin Voyages handled every detail... no decisions, no distractions, just room to focus on what really matters: becoming a better leader, a better person, and making 2025 the year everything changes. Here’s the thing: leadership isn’t a buzzword. It’s not about titles or status. It’s about owning your sh*t, building trust, holding yourself accountable, and unlearning everything that’s holding you back. The leaders here? They’re walking away transformed. And guess what? You could’ve been one of them. This ship? Incredible. This experience? Unmatched. And if you’re still sitting on the sidelines thinking 2024 will be “your year” but haven’t done anything to make it so, let’s face it... you’re stuck. 2025 is almost here. Are you really going to sit back and watch other leaders get ahead of you while you keep grinding in the same tired cycle? Next time, don’t just wish you were here. Be here. Step up, make the commitment, and join me on the next SAIL Leadership Intensive. Don’t be the one reading about breakthroughs... be the one having them. It’s time. No excuses. Let me teach you the secret to SAIL. #NotTheHRLady #Leadership #Breakthroughs #SAIL #VirginVoyages #2025Transformation

Today is about unlearning... letting go of the bad habits, outdated beliefs, and old-school leadership practices that hold you back. It’s hard, but that’s what makes it powerful. You can’t grow if you’re stuck doing what’s comfortable. On this ship, where every detail is thought of for you... from five-star dining to entertainment to the incredible serenity of the ocean... you get the space to really dig into yourself. No distractions, no endless decisions, just pure focus on becoming the leader you’re meant and probably have always wanted to be. We’re breaking old patterns out here and creating real leadership transformations. I can already feel the change in everyone around me. You could start feeling it too! #NotTheHRLady #Learning #Unlearning #Leadership #Transformation #VirginVoyages

Today’s focus is on influence... and it’s not about how many people report to you. It’s about how many people actually believe in you. We’re not talking manipulation or pushing your title around. We’re talking about building trust and making people want to follow your lead. Out here, on this stunning ship where everything’s already taken care of, there’s space to rethink how you show up as a leader. No distractions, no outside stress. It’s the perfect place for a leadership reset. We are breaking down the difference between commanding respect and earning trust... and I’ve never seen so many lightbulbs go off. This isn’t something you learn from a book. This is real, actionable, experiential, permanent change. Tomorrow, we hit learning... the kind that sticks. The kind that makes you a better... you. Join us in January, you can learn the secrets too. #NotTheHRLady #Influence #Trust #Leadership #Breakthroughs #VirginVoyages

Today is going to be intense for some. Stripping accountability down to its core means... no more excuses, no more passing the buck. True leadership is about owning every outcome, even the tough ones. Even ones that are unimaginable. Virgin Voyages takes care of every detail here… meals, entertainment, your every need is met… so you can focus on growth. You can focus on you. It’s the perfect environment to confront the hard truths about how you lead, about yourself, about the world in which we live and what we do now. We’re not playing it safe out here. We can’t. We have to double down now. Tomorrow, we dig into influence... and it’s going to change the way you think about leadership, especially in the face of impossible and terrifying times. Join us next time, you don't want to miss this... #NotTheHRLady #Accountability #Leadership #Growth #VirginVoyages

Today is going to be a huge wake-up call. We diving deep into real self-care... not the spa-day kind (although Virgin Voyages is definitely delivering there too). We’re talking about building self-care into your leadership strategy. Breakthroughs are happening here. I’m watching leaders who’ve always put themselves last realize that burnout isn’t a badge of honor... it’s a failure in leadership. In their leadership. That hits hard, sometimes. With my SAILing with TARA guide (everyone gets a copy to "work through" during the voyage), you don’t have to make a single decision onboard unless you want to and with that, you can focus on your leadership self work. Seriously… This ship offers everything... luxury at your fingertips, meals, drinks, experiences... all included. That freedom gives you the mental space to think about what truly matters. And, it’s hitting hard for just about everyone. Tomorrow, we get real with accountability. Things are about to shift again. #NotTheHRLady #SelfCare #Leadership #Breakthrough #Retreat #VirginVoyages
