## Resource

Welcome to 2026 and our first Unlocking Aliveness in Leadership Podcast   In this podcast Frances and Andy are looking at the year ahead, discussing what it takes to be more intentional and deliberate about who you want to be, and what you stand for.   We use Seth Godin’s blog More like itself as inspiration for our discussion.   More Like Itself Every year, on the first weekend of the year, it’s probably worth replacing the dried spices in your pantry. The best, freshest  spices  still taste like the spice that’s on the label, but they taste more like themselves. That’s what successful brands and freelancers do as well. They relentlessly do the work to act more like themselves. First, we have to figure out what we are, what we stand for, and what people expect. Then we get a chance to be more like that. How do we become more like our true self this year?   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
