In this episode of Activating HOPE, we sit down with Samir Geepee, Creator and Chief Facilitator of The Clarity Game, LLC, and host of the Leading with Clarity podcast. Samir’s mission is to empower mid-level managers to become effective leaders by achieving clarity, growth, and success—starting with one simple, yet powerful question: “What do you want?”

What seems like a straightforward question is often surprisingly difficult to answer. Samir discovered early in his career that this struggle is common, and many people lack clarity when faced with this fundamental question. In our conversation, he shares how he helps organizations build a peer-coaching culture for success and how asking great questions can unlock insight, connection, and leadership potential.

Tune in to learn Samir’s strategies for cultivating clarity and creating meaningful growth—both personally and within your team.

Grateful for the opportunity to speak at the Indiana Chamber of Commerce Women’s Collaborative on Owning Your Leadership Journey. We talked about stepping into our power, choosing authenticity over approval, and leading with conviction.

And of course, I had to give a shout to Dolly Parton because if anyone embodied what it means to own your journey and be unapologetically herself, it was Dolly. Thank you, Dolly, for inspiring all of us to lead boldly, love generously, and stay true to who we are. 🦋💕

Thank you, Dolly Parton, for a life so beautifully and generously lived. You loved people loudly, lifted others quietly, and reminded us all that kindness never goes out of style. The world is better because you were in it. Forever grateful. 🦋💕

Excited to keynote at the 2026 Indiana Worker’s Compensation Institute Annual Seminar with The Real Deal: Why Authenticity is a Leader’s Greatest Advantage.

Authentic leadership isn’t just inspiring. It’s effective. When we lead with clarity and conviction, we build trust, strengthen teams, and create workplaces where people can truly thrive. Grateful for the chance to pour into this community and spark meaningful conversations about what real leadership looks like today.

In this episode of Activating HOPE, we sit down with Vanessa Green Sinders, President & CEO of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce. With more than 20 years of experience spanning corporations, government, associations, and consulting, Vanessa brings a rare blend of strategic vision, relationship leadership, and real-world determination. She’s a master collaborator, crisis solver, and talent magnet.

We’ll dig into the pivotal lessons she’s learned along the way — especially for the next generation of women leaders — discussing topics like the power of networking, owning your voice, embracing different experiences, navigating gatekeepers and leadership hierarchies, and seizing opportunities before you feel “ready.” Whether you’re leading a team, climbing the ladder, or just exploring your potential, this conversation offers practical, inspiring guidance for forging your own leadership path.
