About Coaching Corporate Training Work With Kandia Podcast

When Leadership Feels Heavy, It’s Time to Lead Differently.

 

You’re not imagining it — leading people really does feel like a 24/7 job. Somewhere along the line, "being a leader" started feeling more like a burden than a badge of honor.  But it doesn’t have to be this way.

 

What if you could make decisions with calm confidence instead of second-guessing yourself every step of the way?

 

What if you could look back one year from now and realize you never had to sacrifice your peace for progress?

 

Sounds good? We've got room for you.

INTRODUCING

The Show Up

Anyway Collective

 

If you're at a crossroads where your expertise is undeniable, but your leadership is questionable, it's time to show up for yourself and others in a new way. 

 

Imagine navigating every situation at work—not just as a technical expert—but as an influential leader who effortlessly communicates even when faced with resistance, radiates confidence and inner calm, and influences others to action during meetings, interviews, and more.

 

We've got room for you.

Leadership Reimagined. Lifestyle Redefined.

"When I think about the LIFE-CHANGING success you pull out of us, I am speechless."

Since working with Kandia I have presented $1.91M in services to prospective customers not to mention the $875K in revenue Kandia helped me pitch during the program. In addition to increasing my sales potential, Kandia helped me find my professional purpose, better define my role at work, build a Team Training Series called “30/30 Thursdays.

Success Takes Mindset, Method, and Message

I believe effective leadership starts with self-leadership.

 

The world will tell you to "be resilient" — to push through.' But the advice around resilience is often weaponized — a way to make you sacrifice your health, joy, and peace for someone else’s agenda.

 

True resilience isn’t about bouncing back quickly and how much you can endure — it’s creating daily rituals that honor your humanity, building support systems that fortify you, and knowing when to press forward or pause — because both are powerful leadership moves.

 

Your well-being isn’t separate from your leadership; it’s the source of it.

 

And that’s precisely why I created

The Show up Anyway Collective.

"Show Up Anyway"

What’s inside the

Show up Anyway Collective

1.Everyday Leadership Rituals: Stay Calm, Focused, and Ready for Anything

Leadership is unpredictable, but your emotional state doesn't have to be. Learn the daily rituals and grounding practices that help you stay calm, clear, and collected before:

  • Difficult conversations (like giving feedback without fear of pushback)
  • High-pressure presentations (so you walk in with clarity, not chaos)
  • Navigating conflict (without losing your cool or second-guessing yourself after it’s over)

Go from stuck and overwhelmed following my templates and step-by-step plans to help you set priorities and make the most of your day.

2.Proven Leadership Frameworks (So You’re Never at a Loss for Words Again)

No more guessing what to say (or how to say it) when it matters most. Our signature communication frameworks give you the words, strategy, and structure to:

  • Deliver feedback that lands without defensiveness.
  • Respond to pushback with power and grace (instead of freezing).
  • Pitch your ideas and sell yourself in meetings, interviews, and client conversations.
  • Handle tough questions on the spot without feeling caught off guard.

No more "I should have said this instead" moments.
With these proven scripts, you’ll feel clear, calm, and confident in every conversation.

3.Unlimited Access to The Lunch & Lead Portal

 

Leadership isn’t a "9-5" job, and neither is your growth. The Lunch & Lead Portal gives you instant access to bite-sized leadership lessons, wellness resets, and "just-in-time" resources you can use when you need it most. 

Here’s what’s inside:

  • Quick-hit audio + video guides — Because sometimes you need support in this moment, not "after the next leadership retreat."
  • Templates, scripts, and leadership how-tos — From how to give feedback to handling pushback without defensiveness, you’ll have the exact words + phrases you need to lead with calm, clarity, and confidence.
  • Wellness-Driven Leadership Resets — Need to get grounded before a big presentation, conflict, or high-pressure conversation? Tap into the Lunch & Lead Portal for guided emotional well-being resets that help you show up with clarity, not chaos.

In the Collective, we don’t wait for the weekend to “rest and recover.

Want to go deeper? Join us in person.


Sometimes, you need to step away to reclaim your power — not just at work, but at home too.

 

As part of this coaching experience, you’ll have access to an optional 2-day in-person leadership retreat designed to help you reclaim your peace, renew your energy, and realign your vision for both work and home.
