Do you find yourself frustrated because your team isn't working the way you expected? Are you struggling to understand why your employees don’t seem to share the same drive and commitment that you bring to your business? In this episode of *Leadership is Feminine*, host Kris Plachy explores the diverse reasons people work and how understanding these differences can transform your approach to leadership.
Kris explains that it is easy to assume that everyone’s motivations for working are the same, but the reality is often very different. The assumptions leaders make about others' motivations for working can create conflict. She explains that leaders often expect their team members to share the same level of dedication, only to face disappointment when reality doesn't align. Kris introduces the concept of the "leadership lens," highlighting that each person views work through their own set of experiences, values, and beliefs, which can greatly differ from those of their leaders or colleagues.
As Kris states, “The reason we work is ours and ultimately, the only person who is accountable for whatever that reason is – is you.” She encourages listeners to take responsibility for their own motivations while also fostering a culture of accountability within their teams.
Kris provides a practical solution by emphasizing the importance of setting a strong foundation: ensure the vision is clear, values are well-defined, and team members understand their roles and agreements. She stresses that leaders must hold employees accountable to these expectations while consistently providing feedback to foster growth and alignment within the team.
This episode offers practical guidance for leaders who want to move past frustration and build a workplace where different motivations are understood and valued, leading to more effective collaboration and results.

As a driven visionary, you have a clear idea of what success looks like—but the path to get there isn't always straightforward. Doubt, fear, and hurdles often creep in, challenging your confidence and testing your resolve. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy explores the experience of visionary doubt—the internal struggle that arises not just once, but repeatedly along your entrepreneurial journey, and asks: are you willing to overcome the discomfort and focus on who you need to become to achieve your vision?

In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy dives into the power of acceptance and the futility of resisting reality. Drawing from her 13 years of leading retreats in Hawaii, Kris reflects on a key question she frequently asks: "What do you wish wasn’t?"
This thought-provoking question highlights how often we get stuck wishing circumstances, people, or experiences were different. Instead of fighting against what is, Kris encourages listeners to embrace the present and explore new possibilities.
Through a series of reflective stanzas, she emphasizes the importance of taking personal agency and making new choices, rather than expending energy on resistance. Tune in to discover how shifting from wishing for change to embracing your power to act can propel you forward as a leader and visionary.
“There is no way to make what was again. There are only choices that move us forward or keep us stuck. The past is gone, the present is our current truth. But the future, our future, always exists in our next step.”
Key Takeaways From This EpisodeThe Core Question: What do you wish wasn't?
What the Question Reveals About Our Desires

As a driven entrepreneur, you likely pride yourself on being self-reliant and handling everything on your own. Yet, deep down, you know that to grow your business and thrive, you need to lean on your team more. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy explores the challenge many Gen X women entrepreneurs face: asking for and accepting support.
Raised with a strong sense of independence, you might struggle to delegate, and when others fall short, it's tempting to just do it yourself. But what if, instead of rescuing everyone, you could guide them—and in the process, free up your own time and energy?
Kris shares her strategies on maintaining emotional balance when dealing with disappointments, and how to guide others through their errors, instead of rescuing them. She encourages us to assess situations pragmatically, rather than letting our emotional tolerance dictate our response to setbacks.
As you tune into this episode, discover a new leadership mindset that fosters support, maturity and growth. You won't want to miss out on Kris’s guidance on how to accept and cultivate support and step out of managing and into leading, as the visionary you are.
“‘No one can do it better than me.’ That is the most painful lie you're telling yourself. And who cares if they can't do it better than you or as well as you? You know what they can do? They can do it well, and they can do it well based on their brain, as long as your results are specific.”
Key Takeaways From This EpisodeUnderstanding Gen X Female Entrepreneurs: The struggle to accept help due to the innate need for independence.
The Problem with Self-Reliance: The high bar set for others while simultaneously experiencing exhaustion of trying to do it all.
Allowing Employees to Make Mistakes: Understanding that employees will inevitably make mistakes, taking on their responsibilities will not make it any easier.
Managing Emotional Response to Mistakes: The need for flexible thinking and being able to objectively assess problems.
Leading through Others’ Mistakes: The need for leaders to guide their employees through the resolution process of their mistakes rather than fixing it themselves

As someone who is leading a business and looking to uplevel your life, not only have you endured a lot of change, but it’s also something you seek. But just because you wish things were different, that doesn’t mean that change comes easy. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy talks about the relationship we have with change, and invites listeners to examine our willingness to be open to change.
Kris shares a personal tale of her weight loss journey, losing 60 lbs in a year. Along with her journey, she shares viewpoints on change and how these transformational moments don't arrive through perfect circumstances but through taking action in spite of hardships.
Weaving together her experiences, she emphasizes that your life situation doesn't magically improve post-change, and it's essential to step into a better version of yourself to handle life's challenges more effectively. Kris dispels the myth that everything will be perfect once change happens.
She also emphasizes the crucial role of expert mentors and coaches, saying, "Change is all about you and the chemistry of the experts that support you, with you, because it's not a straight line." The episode reminds us the importance of hiring those who genuinely inspire us and challenge us to better ourselves.
Tune in to be inspired by Kris's personal change journey, learn about her approach to nurturing change, and take a look into the barriers that hold us back from making significant changes in our lives. Change is here. Are you ready?
“There is no circumstance that will happen outside of you that will miraculously change how you feel inside. And how you feel inside is exactly how you show up in the world outside.”
Key Takeaways From This EpisodeChange and Personal Transformation: The universal human desire for change and the psychological resistance to it.
Importance of Expert Guidance: The appreciation for expertise and the value of getting the help of a professional.
Making the Decision to Change: Distinguishes between making a decision and the resistance, often psychological, to act on that decision.

Many leaders carry a worry that they will make a mistake and it will land them in trouble. This worry of being in trouble can be overwhelming, paralyzing, and be the driving force in decision making. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy reminds us that as a leader, you're going to make mistakes, and she invites listeners to reflect on how we emotionally process and respond when mistakes are made. She explores what it means to step into a leadership role and the inherent responsibilities that follow.
We're all too familiar with the anxious feeling of making mistakes and 'getting in trouble'. Kris urges us to reevaluate this particular fear. "I don't want to care about getting in trouble. I have spent most of my life being worried about getting in trouble," she states, inviting us too to shed this inhibiting concern.
She shares that as women, we have traits that make us sensitive and conscious leaders, creating safe environments for our teams. Yet, these 'superpowers' can sometimes turn into 'poison' that prompt overcompensating behaviour and a tolerance for continuous mistakes. It’s crucial to strike a balance, Kris urges, between ensuring safety and indulging in over-compensation.
Beyond managing yourself, Kris explains that as leaders, there is a level of responsibility for creating space for the emotional needs of your team. "I believe that we have to recognize as leaders, that we are now saying yes to having some level of custodial responsibilities, even if it's just at an energetic level for other people's emotional health. And that because I'm in a position of authority, I carry more weight." She stresses the importance of handling our authority conscientiously.
Join Kris as she talks about the challenges and rewards of being a leader, creating a safe workplace environment, and how we can balance sensitivity with firmness in our roles as leaders. You won't want to miss this exploration into the facets of leadership.

Are you an entrepreneur who just wishes someone would tell her what to do to get her team members to do their jobs? Are you striving to strike a balance between realizing your vision and leading your team effectively? Many entrepreneurs get their start with an idea or a dream, and find themselves in leadership roles without much experience, training, or formal education in how to be a good manager. Situations like this can often lead to feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or totally lost. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy reminds us that we are not alone, and she shares two effective steps you can take that will clarify your processes and make leadership simpler.
Kris shares an excerpt from her book, The One Hour Leader, which is built on the idea leadership isn’t built on a complicated set of skills and management techniques, but instead, is all about understanding human behavior, yours and your teams, and building an ecosystem where everyone thrives and is aligned toward common goals and values.
The first step is to create a strong promise at the core of your business and making that promise the north star for every business decision you make. As Kris points out, “It guides not just what you offer to customers, but also who you invite on your team. Once that promise is crystal clear, every decision, every hire, every step forward is aligned with truth.”
In the next step, Kris emphasizes the significance of agreements - that they are the foundation to creating accountable, value-sharing, and inspired teams. She encourages listeners to examine the qualities they believe are important and she shares a list of eight thought-provoking questions to help you clarify and design agreements for your team.
If you're an entrepreneur looking to lead authentically and effectively without unnecessary complexity, tune in as Kris shares her insights and innovative leadership principles.

Are you ready to step into conscious, intentional leadership rather than letting your emotions sway your decision-making or responses? This episode of Leadership is Feminine is an honest look at abusive leadership where host Kris Plachy illustrates the consequences of abusive leadership, and how to address the root cause in order to be a more effective leader.
Kris brings to light one of the biggest leadership obstacles we face - not recognizing that it's our role as leaders to understand and work with our team, rather than expecting the team to work around us. Kris also asks us to reevaluate our emotional reactions to mistakes or issues within our teams. Whether it's us avoiding conflict or resorting to insults, either way, we're not doing anything to advance the situation. Instead, we need to take ownership of our emotions, learn how to work through them, and channel them in a positive manner that helps to develop our team members.
The episode also touches on the importance of self-awareness in leadership. You can't effectively lead someone in the direction you want if you don't even know yourself. Kris explores the delicate balance between being both loving and direct, honest and kind and stresses that when leaders emanate such qualities, they not only uplift their team but also themselves.
Kris passionately calls out abusive leadership, urging leaders to understand their role and use it for fostering a healthy work culture, not to harness power or control. Instead, she urges them to embody a leadership style that enhances development, learning, and growth for everyone involved.
Join Kris for this transparent and insightful episode as she guides you towards conscious leadership, urging you to step out of the emotional turbulence and lead with love, understanding, and firmness.
“I think it is up to the leader to understand and love and pour into the team member. It is not the team member's job to understand and pour into and love you.”
Key Takeaways From This EpisodePositional Authority: Explaining what positional authority is and how people are usually socialized to grant this power.

Self-awareness for Leaders: Importance for leaders to understand themselves and their teams.

Are you passionate about leading and ready to explore beyond the traditional methods of learning and growing? In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy takes the key role of a 'Sage', discussing a profound approach to self-exploration and the power of understanding yourself beyond typical teaching.
This episode is an exploration into the reality of what it means to be a Sage. If there's one thing that differentiates a Sage from others, it's their deep desire to seek more about themselves and their environment. They have a sense that there is more to their leadership potential and life. As Kris shares in this episode, “A Sage is someone who is well known in their industry, in their space. They are revered. They have built a body of work that has reached a level of excellence in whatever it is that you do. And a Sage is also someone who has wisdom, who has depth of knowing, sort of beyond what would be expected of someone who has lived so far in your lifetime.”
It requires a deep understanding of yourself and what you need. It means daring to leap from the safe plane of learning tactics and strategies to a holistic and personal approach to development. Kris shares that being a Sage means moving from a place of seeking knowledge from external sources, and instead, tapping into your own wisdom and understanding.
Kris also addresses potential triggers and challenges of the Sage journey with honesty and reassurance, and what you can expect within the Sage Advisory. She emphasizes the profound significance of Sage, how it nurtures personal growth, the responsibility it bestows on its participants, and why it isn't a typical group leadership program.
Tune in as Kris presents the empowering foundation of Sage, guiding women to embrace their inherent wisdom and gain a profound depth of self-knowledge.
Key Takeaways From This EpisodeDescription of the Sage Advisory
Giving a Clear Expectation of How the Sage Experience Functions
Definition and Characteristics of a Sage: Importance of self-awareness and introspection.
Purpose and Value of the Sage Experience: Allowing women the space to tap into their own knowing.
Overview of the Teaching and Learning Process: Acknowledging the individualized nature of learning and development; it’s not a typical “program” full of videos to watch and worksheets to complete but a reflective journey where each Sage is her own curriculum.
The Role of Collective and Individual Work in Sage: The individualized nature of the Sage Advisory.

Have you ever felt like you're navigating the difficulties of entrepreneurship all on your own? Do you wonder if the challenges you face are unique to you? In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy reveals the seven unavoidable truths that every female founder and entrepreneur encounters on their journey to success.
Kris starts by addressing the uncomfortable issues that every business leader must face. She emphasizes that whatever challenge or person you wish to avoid, your business will inevitably force you to confront it. Whether it's having difficult conversations, trusting your intuition, or working in partnerships, these challenges are inescapable.
Kris discusses the reality that as the founder, you hold the ultimate decision-making power. If you are the one taking all the risks, it is imperative that you make the final calls. This responsibility is a fundamental aspect of leadership that can’t be delegated.
Another key truth is the ever-changing nature of everyone involved in a business. Kris talks about the inevitability of change—people will leave, roles will evolve, and you, as a leader, will also grow and transform. She stresses the importance of adapting to these changes to maintain a thriving business.
Kris further explains that the people who helped you get to your current level might not be the same ones who will take you to the next stage of your journey. This truth emphasizes the need for continuous evaluation and evolution of your team and personal growth.
This episode of Leadership is Feminine is a discussion of leadership truths that every business runner faces. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of these concepts to better understand and enhance your leadership journey.
“You are already born to lead. You just don't know it. If you struggle with leading, I believe it's not because you're not capable. It's because you don't believe in what you already know about yourself and you question it.”
Key Takeaways From This EpisodeImportance of Facing Challenges Head-On: Your business has a way of forcing you through whatever you don’t want to deal with.
No One Thinks Like You: Establishing clarity on the outcomes and not expecting that things will be done the way you would do them.
Responsibility of a Founder in Decision-Making: Ensure that you are not abdicating in areas of risk in your business.
The Destructive Impact of Unaddressed Issues in a Business: Avoiding problems in your business won’t make them go away.
The Inevitable Change of Your Team and You: Setting the expectation that people on your team will change, and so will you. Those who got you here won’t get you there. And the person you were when you started is not the same version of you that will get you to your goals.
Delineation of Individual Successes Separate From the Overall Business Success: Your success is not their success, and ensuring that compensation is attached with performance and results, not based on how you feel.
