? Happy International Women’s Day! ?? When I first started in agile, my first set of training videos came from Sally Elatta. I remember seeing her at a conference and being absolutely star-struck. Since then, I’ve learned that she’s not just an incredible teacher—she’s a powerhouse in enterprise agility. As the Founder and CEO of AgilityHealth?, Sally helps organizations accelerate real, measurable transformation. Her work goes beyond frameworks—it’s about business agility at scale and making lasting change stick. She’s built her own path, led boldly, and continues to push the industry forward. On this International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the women who inspire, lead, and open doors for others. Sally is one of those women. Want to keep up with Sally Elatta and her incredible work?

Great leaders know this simple truth: People are the heartbeat of any organization. On Employee Appreciation Day, we want to recognize the hard work, dedication, and impact of every employee who shows up, solves problems, and drives success—often in ways that go unseen. Appreciation doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful. A few simple ways to show gratitude: ?? Say thank you—genuinely and often. Recognition goes a long way in boosting morale and motivation. ?? Listen to their ideas. Employees who feel heard are more engaged, innovative, and committed to their work. ?? Invest in their growth. Appreciation isn’t just about recognition—it’s about supporting professional and personal development. ?? Celebrate the small wins. Not every success is a big milestone, but they all matter. To every employee out there—thank you for the work you do, the energy you bring, and the difference you make. How do you show appreciation for your team? #EmployeeAppreciationDay #Leadership #WorkCulture #PsychologicalSafety #CherieSilas #TandemCoaching

?? It’s World Book Day, and if there’s one thing I can talk about all day, it’s books. I’ve already read 30+ books this year, and all of them? High-stakes courtroom drama, espionage, FBI investigations, legal thrillers—the kind of books that make you feel like you’re right in the middle of a who-done-it moment. My absolute favorite? John Grisham—nobody does legal drama better. Maybe it’s because I wanted to be an attorney. Maybe I just love the law but hate politics -- give me FBI investigations, not campaign scandals! Either way, a good legal thriller is my go-to escape. But I know not everyone leans into fiction like I do. If you’re more of a non-fiction reader—especially one who loves leadership, coaching, and professional growth—I’ve got a recommendation for you.

Great leadership starts with self-awareness. When you understand your strengths, triggers, and blind spots, you make better decisions, communicate more effectively, and create stronger connections with your team. The good news? Self-awareness isn’t something you’re born with—it’s a skill you can develop. Here are a few simple habits to strengthen it: ?? Pause and reflect. Take time each day to ask, What went well? What could I have handled better? Small moments of reflection lead to big growth. ?? Seek honest feedback. The best leaders invite perspectives from trusted peers, mentors, and their teams—because you can’t fix what you don’t see. ?? Notice emotional triggers. Pay attention to what frustrates, excites, or overwhelms you. Understanding your reactions helps you manage them more effectively. ?? Be intentional about growth. Self-awareness isn’t about knowing yourself—it’s about growing yourself. Apply what you learn. When leaders work on self-awareness, everyone benefits. What’s one habit that’s helped you become a better leader?

A busy team isn’t always an effective team. If work is piling up but results aren’t improving, inefficiencies might be the real problem. Instead of pushing harder, take a step back and diagnose what’s slowing your team down. Here’s where to start: ?? Look at workflows – Are processes outdated? Are there unnecessary steps slowing things down? ?? Check for role clarity – Confusion over responsibilities leads to bottlenecks and duplicated efforts. ?? Ask your team – The people doing the work know where the inefficiencies are. Listen to their insights. ?? Track the right metrics – Are you measuring productivity or just activity? Focus on meaningful outcomes. ?? Remove unnecessary meetings – Too many check-ins and status updates kill momentum. Keep only what’s valuable. ?? Empower decision-making – If every decision needs approval, work stalls. Trust your team to take action. Efficiency isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters, better. What’s one change that has helped your team work smarter? #Leadership #TeamEfficiency #WorkSmarter #HighPerformanceTeams #ExecutiveCoaching #CherieSilas #TandemCoaching

The best leaders aren’t the ones who stick to a rigid plan—they’re the ones who know when to pivot. Change is inevitable. Markets shift, teams evolve, and unexpected challenges pop up. The strongest leaders don’t resist change—they adapt without losing focus. Here’s how to lead with flexibility: ?? Stay clear on your core values – Adaptability doesn’t mean losing your direction. Know what truly matters. ?? Embrace a learning mindset – Change isn’t an obstacle—it’s an opportunity to grow, improve, and innovate. ?? Listen and observe – The best leaders don’t react blindly. They assess, gather input, and adjust accordingly. ?? Empower your team – Flexibility works both ways. Give your team the trust and space to adapt with you. ?? Make decisions, but stay open to adjustment – It’s okay to revise your plan. Stubbornness isn’t strategy. Adaptable leadership isn’t about reacting to every shift—it’s about knowing when to hold steady and when to evolve.
