This Isn't Another Leadership Newsletter

  • It's video, not text. Every morning: a real coaching session from Cicely on camera — not a newsletter someone formatted at midnight. You see her. You hear the tone. It lands differently.
  • It's daily, immediately applicable. One idea, applied at work that day. Not a weekly digest you skim on Sunday and forget by Monday.
  • It's for senior leaders. Not generic advice for anyone with a LinkedIn account.

Cicely Simpson is a woman who has made a positive impact on my career. When I saw the prompt to recognize an influential (and consequential) person of impact, Cicely came to mind immediately. Her daily "5 Minute Leader" videos always end with a call to action - which is an invaluable framework for translating theory /knowledge into the actual doing. Cicely's insights are profound - laying the groundwork for impact, with her 5 Minute Leader videos providing a platform to build and expand leadership capacity.
