  • The Manager’s Guide to Working Genius in Team Meetings | Tessa Kampen

    The Manager’s Guide to Working Genius in Team Meetings | Tessa Kampen
    Feb 19 2026

    Why do your meetings feel exhausting?

    Why does one person dominate while someone else disengages completely?

    If you’re leading meetings as a new manager and walking away frustrated, unclear, or stuck repeating the same conversations, this episode will help.

    Most leaders assume disengagement is about attitude.
    They assume domination is about ego.
    They assume lack of follow-through is laziness.

    But it’s usually none of those things.

    It’s misaligned energy.

    Desiree and Tessa walk through Patrick Lencioni’s Working Genius framework and explain how each genius shows up inside meetings, and how understanding it improves communication in the workplace, team accountability, and overall team management.

    BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL LEARN:

    • Why meetings feel draining and how to clarify their purpose
    • How to structure meetings so the right conversations happen at the right time
    • The two changes that immediately improve team accountability

    If you want your team to commit, follow through, and stop dreading meetings, this framework is a practical starting point.

  • Why Being "Busy" Is Getting in the Way of Effective Leadership | Sarah Ohanesian

    Why Being "Busy" Is Getting in the Way of Effective Leadership | Sarah Ohanesian
    Feb 12 2026

    If you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly busy—but nothing truly important is moving forward—busyness may be the problem, not the solution.

    In this episode, Desiree is joined by productivity expert Sarah Ohanesian to challenge the belief that doing more equals leading better.

    They explore why New Year productivity plans fall apart so quickly, how unrealistic expectations fuel burnout, and why leaders often reward visible busyness instead of meaningful impact. Sarah introduces the idea of the “productivity parade”—work that looks impressive but distracts from what actually matters—and explains how meetings, unclear expectations, and outdated metrics quietly reinforce it.

    You’ll learn how to identify true non-negotiables, use your calendar as a leadership tool, integrate work and life priorities realistically, and close the clarity gap that drives disengagement. Sarah also shares her COAT framework (Clarity, Organize, Act, Take Time) and a simple time-tracking challenge that helps leaders see where their time is really going.

    If you want less burnout, more clarity, and a team focused on real results—not just looking busy—this episode is for you.
