68 | Leading With Joy - Why Fun Makes You A Better Leader

We often talk about the strategies and skills required to be an effective leader - but what about the joy?

In this episode of A Leader's Journey, I'm sharing a more personal side of leadership: the role of fun, hobbies, and creativity in helping you lead with clarity and confidence. From Lego kits and paint-by-numbers to off-roading and baking bread, I reveal the practices that keep me grounded and energized - and why intentionally making space for joy matters more than you might think.

You'll learn:

• Why joy isn't a distraction - it's fuel for sustainable leadership.
• How play sparks sharper thinking and stronger presence.
• Simple ideas to reconnect with fun in the middle of a busy season.

This episode is your permission slip to reclaim your energy, your creativity, and your spark.
