Rule #1: Give a Damn
Dec 02, 2025
Sip of the Week: This week’s conversation left us both deeply inspired. Amy talked openly about navigating toxic leadership, facing doubt, and nearly leaving the Coast Guard altogether — until one leader stopped her from walking away. His belief in her sparked a belief in herself. Her story is a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t about command. It’s about creating environments where people feel valued, supported, and trusted to grow into their own brilliance. Her philosophy — give a damn, help others succeed, and tell the truth — is a blueprint for how we can show up in work, relationships, and community. And as we close out 2024, it’s the perfect mindset to carry with us into the new year- Listen Now!
Post-Tea Pursuits:
This week, try weaving Amy’s wisdom into your own life:
- Give a damn: Do one small thing that shows care — a message, a check-in, a moment of presence.
- Help someone succeed: Offer support, a resource, or encouragement. Be the person you needed.
- Tell the truth: Where do you need honesty — with yourself or someone else?
- Embrace the pivot: Reflect on one moment this year where things didn’t go as planned… and what it taught you.
Your leadership — in your home, work, friendships, and inner world — matters more than you realize.
