Unbridled: Leadership Starts With You

We're continuing our free KC IABC coffee series on personal development for communicators.

The event is free. We hope to see you there!

Event Details

Too often, even the most dedicated people fall into "The Bridled Leader Trap"—stuck in cycles of doing, fixing, and rescuing instead of truly leading.Through compelling stories and lessons from my rodeo days, I'll show your audience how to saddle their own horse and reclaim leadership with responsibility, presence, and power.

• Break Free from the Trap: Recognize overwork, frustration, and stagnation—and shift toward clarity and courage.

• Saddle Your Own Horse: Rewrite the narratives driving stress or self-doubt into ones that build confidence and character.

• Unbridled Leadership Defined: Lead yourself first to empower others, speak with influence, and create meaningful change—regardless of your role.
