The Power of Showing Up: Aligning Decisions with Your Values
How intentional, value-driven choices transform everyday actions into extra ordinary outcomes
Tonight, I watched a powerful story unfold—the untold journey of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the all-Black women’s Army Corps during World War II. Tasked with the impossible—sorting and delivering a two-year backlog of mail for U.S. soldiers in Europe under extreme conditions—they weren’t just set up to fail.
They were expected to.
(Yes, you can watch it on Netflix)
But they didn’t.
Under the leadership of Major Charity Adams and other brilliant women, this battalion exemplified decision-making that aligned with both their mission and their values. By recognizing the unique strengths and expertise of each individual woman, they tackled the monumental task with determination, creativity, and grace.
They solved a complex challenge not just through strategic thinking, but through a deep understanding of the power of aligned, collective effort.
This story isn’t just about history—it’s a reminder of the challenges women, especially Black and Indigenous women, continue to face.
We are often asked to do the impossible, to lead in spaces that weren’t designed for us, and to succeed in conditions meant to break us.
Yet we show up. We lead. We create impact.
As we step into a new year, this story invites us to ask:
How are we showing up for the decisions that shape our lives and our leadership?
How are we aligning our values, strengths, and vision to create solutions no one thought possible?
If you’ve felt the tension between doing what’s expected and what’s meaningful, or if you’re ready to make decisions that honor your unique strengths and align with your values, I invite you to join me in January’s Decision-Making Quest.

Here is what she has to say and you are gonna want to take it into consideration:
The new year will be full of challenges, many of them unprecedented in this country. I don't have a crystal ball to predict the future. I do know this: we'll need community and new skills to navigate change, adversity and opportunity.
That's why I've partnered with Michele Price to bring you an expanded offer for these times: my One Pass and Michele's 5-Week Decision-Making Quest. For a limited time, you can get both of these tools for $497. That's over $1,000 off the regular price of both offerings.
You get access to the community, all 28 of my workshops, my group coaching sessions (aka office hours) and speed-networking sessions...PLUS, you get access to Michele's structured decision-making program and weekly support group sessions. I talk a lot about building self-awareness because I believe it's the foundation of emotional intelligence (EQ). Michele's 5-Week Decision-Making Quest is your best path to building self-awareness.
Every coach needs a coach, and Michele is mine.
She's a visionary leader, healer and transformational entrepreneur who approaches the world through a unique Indigenous lens. She's also an expert in deep listening and inspires people to lead in harmony with their values, creating the solutions our world desperately needs. I highly recommend her and her program.
