In this episode, Lisa explores why so many people find themselves setting the same goals year after year — and the one thing most people do that quietly stops them from reaching those goals.

As the year comes to a close and reflection naturally deepens, this conversation invites listeners to look beyond traditional goal-setting strategies and step-by-step plans. Instead, Lisa shares why lasting success requires something deeper: becoming the person who can lead themselves through setbacks, uncertainty, and real life — not just the person who knows what to do when things are going well.

This episode offers a powerful reframe on goal setting, especially for those who want their goals to hold when life gets messy, and who are ready to approach growth from a place of self-leadership, alignment, and inner mastery.

Journal & Reflection Questions
Use these five questions alongside your vision boarding, journaling, or goal-setting process to deepen your clarity and create goals that last.
1. Who does this goal require me to become in order to reach it with integrity and ease?
2. What patterns, reactions, or ways of leading myself will no longer work at this level?
3. When life gets messy, what will I need to believe in order to keep moving toward my goals?
4. What is my true identity? (Hint: You are already whole and complete.)
5. What would change if I focused less on forcing outcomes and more on being the person who can lead myself through anything that comes my way?

Lisa also shares details about a brand-new offering from Rise Leadership Circle: the Transformational Leadership Certification.

This is a 12-month, Level One Self-Mastery Certification focused on fully embodying the art of being self-led. Rather than training leadership only in a business context, this certification supports participants in living leadership principles across every area of life — work, relationships, wellness, finances, and spirituality.
