IT’S a message that needs to land.
When your ideas, plans, or changes aren’t being heard the way you hoped — this is the space to figure out how to say it so it sticks, and lead through clarity.
“This isn’t what I expected — how am I supposed to move the team forward when everything feels stuck?”
It started with frustration…
Mariel was new to her role — full of ideas, energy, and a clear plan to improve her team’s communication and processes.
But reality hit hard: the workflows weren’t what she anticipated, the culture was different than expected, and implementing change felt like pushing uphill.
So we talked it out.
Together, we unpacked what was really going on — not just the changes she needed to make, but how to communicate them in a way that would build trust, reduce resistance, and actually engage her team.
Not everything shifted overnight, but something clicked.
Now, Mariel isn’t just working through process updates — she’s leading cultural change, helping her team become more productive, connected, and aligned.
Things people often bring into this space:
I know what needs to change… I just don’t know how to say it.
Why is my team not responding the way I thought they would?
How do I get buy-in when I’m still new here?
This could work — if I can communicate it better.
You don’t need to have the answers yet.
You just need to start the right conversation.
Hear it from Mariel…
"I was new to the team and frustrated about how things were done — but after our conversation, I found clarity in how to approach it. I didn’t just learn how to communicate better, I learned how to bring people along."
