Summer often calls us to pause and realign our priorities, which is exactly why I'm announcing a brief hiatus from "The Path to Leadership" podcast. Despite the momentum from recent episodes on authenticity and overnight success that sparked meaningful conversations, this intentional break allows me to focus on significant personal and professional developments.

Family transitions take center stage as my son prepares to begin his journey as an airplane mechanic and my daughter intensifies her golf training through summer tournaments. Meanwhile, my own relationship with golf has evolved from casual family activity to a passionate pursuit that offers both physical benefits and profound mental challenges. Through leagues, the Driving Pursuits women's network, and various tournaments, I'm discovering powerful parallels between golf and leadership development—so much so that I've created a professional workshop exploring how our behavior on the course mirrors our approach to career obstacles.

Professionally, Catalyst Development celebrates its third anniversary as we expand our leadership programs. I'm currently midway through a year-long leaders program while launching two corporate cohorts with customized formats. Speaking engagements across Kansas and Missouri on generations, self-management, and leadership principles keep my calendar full. Throughout it all, my guiding word remains "cultivate"—intentionally nurturing relationships by being fully present, taking better care of myself (including shedding 15 pounds), and developing strategic business partnerships that create value for all involved.

When the podcast returns on August 1st, I'll bring fresh perspectives from this period of intentional growth. Until then, I encourage you to revisit earlier episodes or connect with me directly about your own leadership journey. How might a strategic pause help you move forward more effectively in your own path to leadership?
