 🎙️ A Leader’s Purpose with Tami Imlay The podcast for leaders who’ve outgrown surface-level success and are ready for soul-level impact. You’ve built the career, led the teams, checked the boxes—and yet, you’re still asking, “Is this really it?” Welcome to the space where high-achieving, faith-driven leaders come to get honest, get clear, and get aligned. Hosted by executive coach, speaker, and Master Certified Enneagram and NeuroCoach Tami Imlay, this show helps you rise into your next season with confidence, clarity, and purpose—without burning out, starting over, or chucking it all and moving to Bali (tempting as that sounds). With 20+ years of leadership experience—including military service, therapy and neuroscience training, and coaching high-level entrepreneurs and executives—Tami brings both strategy and soul to the mic. After becoming a Gold Star Spouse and walking through her own identity shift, she made it her mission to help other leaders do the same: step into a life and leadership that actually feels like you. Each episode blends truth-telling with tangible tools—expect a little sass, a lot of heart, and zero tolerance for performative leadership. We’ll cover topics like: ✨ Identity clarity & self-awareness using the Enneagram 🧠 Neuroscience-backed tools to rewire limiting beliefs 🎯 Purpose-aligned business and leadership strategy 🧭 Navigating transitions, pivots, and legacy-defining moves 🧘 Burnout recovery and sustainable success 💬 Authentic communication & emotional intelligence 🙏 Faith and leadership integration that doesn’t feel cheesy If you’re circling your calling, craving deeper impact, or just tired of pretending everything’s fine when you’re quietly questioning what’s next—this podcast is for you. Because here’s the truth: ✅ You don’t need another strategy. You need identity clarity. ✅ You’re not behind—you’re right on time. ✅ You already have what it takes. You just need to remember who you are. This is your permission to rise—without losing yourself in the process. Hit subscribe and let’s get startedCopyright 2025 All rights reserved.

    325| Executive Presence Is a Lie (Here's What Actually Makes People Follow You)
    Oct 20 2025
    Hey Friend! You've been told you need executive presence. Stand taller. Speak with authority. Dress the part. Master your vocal tonality. Control the room. But here's what nobody's saying: if you're exhausted from being "on" all the time, if you're walking into the boardroom looking the part but feeling like an imposter inside, the problem isn't your presence. The problem is you're performing a role instead of embodying who you actually are. I've worked with dozens of C-suite and government leaders who have all the right moves, all the right credentials, and they're still paralyzed by self-doubt. They're wondering when someone's going to realize they're faking it. And no amount of power poses or wardrobe upgrades is going to fix that. 💬 Quote "You can't fake alignment. You can't perform confidence. The grounded certainty that makes people want to follow you? That only comes from knowing exactly who you are and leading from that place." Want to Go Deeper? Ready to stop performing and start leading from your authentic identity? Book an Aligned Leadership Call and get strategic clarity on your next step. 👉 TamiMarieCoaching.com/call 🔑 Key Takeaways: Executive presence isn't something you perform—it's something you embody. When you're trying to project an identity you haven't fully clarified, people can feel the gap. They may respect your title, but they don't feel your authority. The real issue? Identity crisis, not presence crisis. You've been promoted into a role that requires you to be someone you're not sure you are. The title says C-suite. The internal identity says "I'm still figuring this out." That gap kills presence. Performance-based leadership is costing you everything. Every decision feels like it could expose you. You're exhausted from being "on" all the time. You avoid bold moves. Your team respects your title but doesn't fully trust your leadership. And you go home feeling like an imposter. ✨ The 3 Elements of Authentic Presence: Identity Clarity You can't lead with conviction if you don't know what convicts you. Most executives skip this step—they spend 20 years becoming the leader everyone needed them to be without ever asking, "Who am I underneath all this armor?" Once you have clarity on your core motivations, values, and how you're wired, the "how" becomes natural. Belief Alignment If you're walking into the boardroom thinking "I don't belong here" or "What if they realize I'm a fraud?", that belief will undermine everything. Your authority. Your decisions. Your credibility. The trust you're building. Presence requires internal conviction, and that means rewiring the limiting beliefs that keep you second-guessing yourself. Embodiment This is where most leadership programs stop. They give you tools and tactics but don't help you embody the shift. When you've done the identity work and paired it with belief work, your presence stops being something you project and becomes something you inhabit. You walk into a room differently because you ARE different. ✨ The One Thing You Don't Want to Miss: When you lead from alignment, your presence isn't something you have to think about. It's just who you are. People trust it. They follow it. They want to be led by you. Not because you're performing—because you're grounded in exactly who you are. 💪 Challenge if you choose to accept it: Notice when you're performing versus when you're being. Pay attention to the moments you feel like you're "on" versus the moments you feel grounded. That gap is your roadmap to alignment. 📝 Journal Prompt for Reflection: "Who am I underneath all the armor I've built to get here? What would change if I led from THAT person instead of performing the role I think I should play?" 🎯 How This Aligns with the SHINE Framework: S - Strategic Clarity: Uncover who you actually are—your wiring, values, core identity, and strengths H - Hone Your Conviction: Rewire the limiting beliefs undermining your authority I - Integrate Identity and Impact: Align your authentic self with your leadership role so it stops feeling like a performance N - Navigate with Intentionality: Build decision-making frameworks rooted in YOUR identity, not someone else's playbook E - Embody Aligned Leadership: Fully inhabit your leadership. No more performing, no proving, just presence. Enjoyed the Episode?

  • 324| When Your Leadership Feels Empty: How to Reconnect to Purpose and Lead with Clarity Again

    324| When Your Leadership Feels Empty: How to Reconnect to Purpose and Lead with Clarity Again
    Oct 13 2025
    Can I be honest? I sat down to record this episode with absolutely nothing. Zero inspiration. My first thought? "Great, Tami. You teach people about alignment and you can't even show up for your own work." But here's what I realized: that feeling wasn't writer's block. It was my soul tapping me on the shoulder saying, "We need to talk." And if you're listening to this feeling the exact same way about your leadership right now—like you're going through the motions but can't remember the last time you felt truly connected to why it matters—this episode is for you. 💬 Quote "Aligned leaders don't lead perfectly. They lead truthfully. And that's magnetic." Want to Go Deeper? Feeling like you're leading on autopilot instead of from conviction? Book an Aligned Leadership Call—your roadmap to clarity, confidence, and reconnection. In 45 minutes, we'll uncover what's keeping you disconnected, identify your next aligned step, and give you a clear path forward. 👉 TamiMarieCoaching.com/call 🔑 Key Takeaways: Autopilot leadership happens when you skip clarity. You show up, execute, and check boxes—but somewhere between your calendar and your calling, you lost the plot.Disconnection isn't failure—it's feedback. When alignment feels like a luxury you can't afford, that's actually the moment you need it most. Leading without clarity is like building a house without a blueprint.The Reconnection Protocol has three steps: Name what's actually happening (stop performing your way out), ask the real questions (reconnect to conviction, not credentials), and move from truth instead of "should."Alignment isn't a one-time achievement—it's a practice. The leaders who rise in defining moments aren't the ones with the best strategies. They're the ones with the clearest alignment.Your brain loves autopilot, but leadership requires intentionality. When everything feels heavier than it should, that's not a sign you're failing. It's a sign you're ready for the next level. ✨ The One Thing You Don't Want to Miss: ➡️ The most powerful leadership move you can make is pausing long enough to reconnect. Not to another strategy. Not to another credential. To who you are at your core and what you're actually here to build. When you lead from alignment instead of obligation, decisions get easier, confidence gets stronger, and impact gets deeper. 💪 Challenge if you choose to accept it: Block 20 minutes this week. Not for email. Not for planning. Not for execution. Just for reconnection. Ask yourself ONE of these questions and write down whatever comes up: What's the last conversation that gave me chills?What pattern have I seen this week that made me think, "Someone needs to talk about this"?What's the thing I keep saying in private that I haven't said publicly yet?What do I wish someone had told me five years ago? Don't judge it. Don't fix it. Just notice it. Because noticing is where change begins. 📝 Journal Prompt for Reflection: "When was the last time I felt truly connected to my leadership? What was different about that moment?" Enjoyed the Episode?

    323| Why Your Leadership Feels Heavy (Even When You're Winning)
    Oct 6 2025
    Hey Friend!

    Let me ask you something—how much time and money have you spent trying to fix the way you lead? Another book, another certification, another workshop promising the breakthrough you've been searching for?

    Here's what nobody tells you: every time you reach for another quick fix, you're not just spending money or time. You're staying stuck in the same patterns that got you here in the first place.

    I've been having this conversation on repeat with leaders at your level. The strategies that got you to VP, to Executive Director, to Founder—they're not broken. They're just not built for where you're going next. And that gap? It's costing you more than you realize.

    "When your leadership is misaligned with your true identity, even success feels heavy."

    Want to Go Deeper?

    Ready to stop chasing quick fixes and start leading from alignment?

    Book a Leadership Strategy Call—your blueprint to clarity, confidence, and impact.

    👉 TamiMarieCoaching.com/call

    🔑 Key Takeaways:
    • Quick fixes are expensive illusions. Books, workshops, and productivity hacks address symptoms, not the source. You can't out-strategize self-doubt or lead authentically when your identity and leadership are misaligned.
    • Misalignment costs you six figures—minimum. Between burnout, missed opportunities, turnover, and lost promotion potential, Forbes and WSJ research shows leadership misalignment can cost individuals $125K+ and teams upward of $300K annually.
    • The real issue isn't strategy—it's identity. When you understand your core motivations, your wiring, and your limiting beliefs, leadership becomes natural. You stop performing and start embodying the leader you're meant to be.
    • Results happen fast when you go to the source. One client waited a year to start coaching. Within two months of working together, his team trusted him more, he delegated effectively, and he reclaimed time and clarity he thought were gone forever.

    ✨ The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:

    ➡️ The strategies that got you here aren't meant to take you where you want to go next. If you keep reaching for surface-level solutions, you'll stay exactly where you are—just more exhausted and more behind.

    💪 Challenge if you choose to accept it:

    Look at your Sunday nights. How do you feel about Monday morning? That feeling is your culture barometer—not what happens at work, but how you feel before you even get there. If Sunday night feels heavy, it's time to stop fixing and start aligning.

    📝 Journal Prompt for Reflection:

    "What am I still trying to fix about myself that might actually just need to be aligned?"
