Episode 31: Starting the New Year - Leading with Theme, Values, and Intention

A new year. A new season. A new cycle. In this episode of Everyday Leader, Shannon and Conrad explore what it really means to start a new year as a leader — beyond resolutions, goals, and checklists. They share a more spacious, intentional approach rooted in values, purpose, and energy. Conrad introduces his practice of choosing a theme for the year — an umbrella that captures both being and doing — and walks through how that theme becomes the foundation for action, habits, and meaningful progress. Shannon reflects on how themes create alignment and clarity even when the specifics are still unfolding. Whether you're in week two, week three, or simply entering a new season of life, this conversation offers a grounded way to begin with intention, imagination, and integrity. 🔗 www.everydayleaderpodcast.com 🔗 www.leadforgood.co 🔗 www.thewindsockgroup.com Follow Shannon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ssalentine/ Follow Conrad: https://www.linkedin.com/in/conradhayter/
