In this powerful and timely episode of Be the Anchor, Kari Lotzien dives into a conversation that many are having behind closed doors but it’s time to bring it into the light.
Are we raising and employing a generation that lacks grit, resilience, and accountability? Or are we missing a deeper opportunity to lead differently?
Kari explores the cultural shift from hyper-independence to overprotection and how both employers and young professionals are caught in the middle. Drawing from her 25 years of experience working with youth and leaders, Kari challenges business owners and leaders to reflect on their own relationship with discomfort and how that directly impacts their teams.
This episode will spark self-reflection, uncomfortable truths, and ultimately, a new way to support growth, resilience, and leadership in both ourselves and others.
Key Topics Discussed:
- Why resilience doesn’t grow in comfort
- The leadership challenge of holding space for discomfort
- How cultural shifts have changed the resilience landscape
- The 4-quadrant model of support vs. challenge (from Challenging Coaching)
- Why avoiding conflict leads to business stagnation
- The dance of high support & high challenge leadership
- Questions to ask instead of giving quick solutions
- How to build true grit in your team without micromanaging
Growth isn’t supposed to be comfortable but it is worth it.
If this episode sparked something in you, whether it was a nudge of recognition, a moment of truth, or a new perspective then you’re exactly where you need to be.
The Anchored Leadership Academy was built for business owners and leaders just like you, those who are ready to stop reacting and start leading with purpose. In this 12-week, high-impact program, you’ll develop the tools to lead with clarity, confidence, and courage. No fluff - just practical, tested strategies that work in real life and real business.
The next cohort starts in January. Spots are limited.
