I’d Like Your Feedback

In 2024, I tried something new. Instead of sending individual articles, I shared monthly recaps featuring content published across various platforms, including:

Reflections on Leadership on LinkedIn and Medium
Wake Up a Leader on Substack
Lead with Heart (52-Week Emotional Intelligence Series)
Karl Writes on Substack
Videos on TikTok and YouTube

I also highlighted leadership tools and promoted new writing throughout the year. However, this approach may have felt repetitive for those following me across multiple platforms.

As we approach 2025, I want to ensure my emails provide you with the most value.

Would you prefer to receive individual articles directly in your inbox, or do you find the monthly recap more helpful?

Your feedback will guide how I share leadership insights moving forward. Please vote above and feel free to reply directly with any additional thoughts. I truly appreciate your time and input.

Thank you for being part of this community, for your interest in my writing, and your commitment to leadership development.

Reflections on Leadership Who Says You’re Ready to Lead? Leadership Drift This Week Who Says You’re Ready to Lead? I recently saw a post about the signs that you’re not ready to lead (yet).
