In this episode, I share a reflection on what it means to lead with courage, care, and clarity in higher education today. As founder of Acclivity and proud speaker at The Gathering 2025, I explore how resilient leadership isn't about being unshakable—it's about being honest, grounded, and transparent, especially when systems are under pressure.Through my Healing-Centered Leadership Compass, I introduce four domains that help leaders navigate misalignment, burnout, and institutional fatigue:Self-Awareness – understanding what we carry and how we lead from it.Relational Accountability – building trust beyond compliance.Institutional Integrity – aligning our actions with our stated values.Social Responsibility – leading with systems awareness and care.I also preview my upcoming sessions at The Gathering 2025, including a solo workshop on academic leadership and a joint presentation with Dr. NaTasha Jordan on bridging healing-centered leadership with high-touch excellence models.Because leadership doesn't live in silos—it lives in relationships. And in this moment of chronic disruption, we're called not to be perfect, but to be present.

We often talk about the weight of failure—but not the weight of praise. Sometimes, the very things we're celebrated for become the ghosts that follow us. We get known for what we once did well, and slowly, excellence becomes a performance rather than a joy.In this episode, I explore three emotional seasons every high-achiever eventually faces:Haunted by Achievement: When past success becomes a cage.The Quiet Rebellion of Enough: When saying no becomes an act of integrity.The Season of Letting Go: When release becomes the most honest form of growth.“Enough isn't mediocrity. It's a moral stance.” “Letting go isn't quitting. It's the beginning of honesty.”For those of us working inside systems that worship more, these aren't just reflections—they're survival skills.CLICK HERE for the Reflection Guide to help you pause, process, and shift.https://theacclivity.com/SeasonOfLettingGo_ReflectionGuidePrompt for reflection:What version of yourself are you still performing for? And what might shift if you finally let them rest?Dr. Loren M.
