Ever feel like a career is stuck, even though on paper everything looks fine?This conversation with Tonya Drummonds explores a pattern many leaders experience. The assumption that fulfillment requires a new role, a new company, or a major pivot. Sometimes that is true. Often it is not.More often, the work starts with perspective. Clarifying values. Naming strengths. Being honest about what is draining energy and what is sustaining it.When those pieces come into focus, decisions get easier. Staying becomes a choice. Growth becomes intentional. Pivoting becomes thoughtful rather than reactive.If things have been feeling restless or misaligned, this episode creates space to pause and reflect.
