Unveiling the Power of Identity Intelligence

Last week, when Shereen Hunter spoke so deeply and so honestly about the psychology of winning, it really resonated with me. It wasn't just what she said, it was the raw honesty and the heart-felt vulnerability with which she told her story.

As a previous Woman of Stature nominee, she did not win an award the night of that Gala event that year.

She was honest about it. She had to navigate some disappointment, but her true win came in a very different and profound way.

I had been listening to Sting's music my whole life. I read his autobiography many years ago. And just like Richard Branson's autobiography, it made a great impression on me. Because of the values he lives. 

The tickets to Sting were a birthday present for my husband, Friedel, because he does so much to support me in my speaking and writing and mentoring journey on so many levels. And in a thousand unselfish, thoughtful gestures. 

Sting did not disappoint. In fact, as Keshnie Mati said at our recent speakers meeting, Sting was for me a lollipop moment in 2025. One of those indelible memories that will stay with you forever.

Today I want to explore another critical element of thought leadership that I found so inspiring in Rich Mulholland's recently-launched book, "Relentless Relevance".
