In this brief monologue, Chrissy Myers explains what it means to be an intentional leader. She contrasts intentional leadership with reactive behavior, emphasizing the need to deliberately slow down, reflect, and adopt a strategic mindset both in business and personal life. By carving out space to assess one’s current position and desired future, leaders can infuse intentionality into their decisions and actions, leading to more thoughtful and effective leadership.

What does it mean for you to be an intentional leader, to be intentional in your business instead of being reactive? Yeah, it's really about taking the time to slow down and be thoughtful and to be strategic, right? So often we find ourselves in these situations where everything is reactive, whether it's stuff going on at home, stuff going on in the business. We just don't have a lot of time. And when we create that space to really look at where am I at and where do I wanna be, that's when you get to bring that intentionality to your leadership.
