"The difficulty in finding 'good people' often stems from leaders not being clear or consistent in their expectations and communications."
Kris shares that open dialogues between leaders and employees to align goals, resources, and timelines, empower teams for success. And she acknowledges the significance of trust, communication, and well-defined role clarity in performance resolution, highlighting these elements as fundamental to effective leadership.

How to Start a Performance Conversation: Key Insights from Kris Plachy on The Visionary.CEO Podcast 🚀
As leaders, effective communication and maintaining a healthy organizational culture are paramount. In our latest episode of The Visionary.CEO podcast, Kris Plachy delves into the art of performance conversations and why starting with facts is essential. Here are three key takeaways:
🔹 Root Your Feedback in Facts, Not Opinions:
Highly effective performance conversations begin with observable, measurable facts. This approach neutralizes the conversation and keeps it free from personal biases and emotional upheaval.
🔹 Understand the Impact of Leadership Styles:
Kris emphasizes that leadership, inherently feminine by nature, thrives on collaboration, co-creation, and communication. Steering away from outdated, aggressive leadership styles can foster a healthier, more engaged team culture.
🔹 Prepare for Honest, Constructive Dialogues:
Equip yourself to manage challenging conversations by focusing on clear, factual evidence. This practice not only eases tension but also empowers leaders to hold their teams accountable effectively and impartially.

Are you an entrepreneur who just wishes someone would tell her what to do to get her team members to do their jobs? Are you striving to strike a balance between realizing your vision and leading your team effectively? Many entrepreneurs get their start with an idea or a dream, and find themselves in leadership roles without much experience, training, or formal education in how to be a good manager. Situations like this can often lead to feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or totally lost. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy reminds us that we are not alone, and she shares two effective steps you can take that will clarify your processes and make leadership simpler.
Kris shares an excerpt from her book, The One Hour Leader, which is built on the idea leadership isn’t built on a complicated set of skills and management techniques, but instead, is all about understanding human behavior, yours and your teams, and building an ecosystem where everyone thrives and is aligned toward common goals and values.
The first step is to create a strong promise at the core of your business and making that promise the north star for every business decision you make. As Kris points out, “It guides not just what you offer to customers, but also who you invite on your team. Once that promise is crystal clear, every decision, every hire, every step forward is aligned with truth.”
In the next step, Kris emphasizes the significance of agreements - that they are the foundation to creating accountable, value-sharing, and inspired teams. She encourages listeners to examine the qualities they believe are important and she shares a list of eight thought-provoking questions to help you clarify and design agreements for your team.
If you're an entrepreneur looking to lead authentically and effectively without unnecessary complexity, tune in as Kris shares her insights and innovative leadership principles.
Key Takeaways From This EpisodeAddressing the Need for New Leadership Paradigms in the Current Workforce
The One Hour Leader: Objectives of the book, including simplifying leadership and reducing stress in team management.
The Promise of Your Business: The importance of having a business Promise and problems that arise without a clear business Promise.
Clarifying Your Promise: Providing questions to help define your business's Promise.
The Role Agreements Play in Creating a Positive Business Culture

Are you ready to step into conscious, intentional leadership rather than letting your emotions sway your decision-making or responses? This episode of Leadership is Feminine is an honest look at abusive leadership where host Kris Plachy illustrates the consequences of abusive leadership, and how to address the root cause in order to be a more effective leader.
Kris brings to light one of the biggest leadership obstacles we face - not recognizing that it's our role as leaders to understand and work with our team, rather than expecting the team to work around us. Kris also asks us to reevaluate our emotional reactions to mistakes or issues within our teams. Whether it's us avoiding conflict or resorting to insults, either way, we're not doing anything to advance the situation. Instead, we need to take ownership of our emotions, learn how to work through them, and channel them in a positive manner that helps to develop our team members.
The episode also touches on the importance of self-awareness in leadership. You can't effectively lead someone in the direction you want if you don't even know yourself. Kris explores the delicate balance between being both loving and direct, honest and kind and stresses that when leaders emanate such qualities, they not only uplift their team but also themselves.
Kris passionately calls out abusive leadership, urging leaders to understand their role and use it for fostering a healthy work culture, not to harness power or control. Instead, she urges them to embody a leadership style that enhances development, learning, and growth for everyone involved.
Join Kris for this transparent and insightful episode as she guides you towards conscious leadership, urging you to step out of the emotional turbulence and lead with love, understanding, and firmness.
“I think it is up to the leader to understand and love and pour into the team member. It is not the team member's job to understand and pour into and love you.”
Key Takeaways From This EpisodePositional Authority: Explaining what positional authority is and how people are usually socialized to grant this power.
Contrasting Supportive and Abusive Leadership Styles: Examining when a leader is allowing their mood to impact the culture and the work environment.
Self-awareness for Leaders: Importance for leaders to understand themselves and their teams.
The Damage of an Abusive Leadership Style: Discussing the negative impacts of abusive leadership on the work environment and the team members.
Navigating When Team Members Make Mistakes: The importance of addressing the issue and doing so with kindness and respect.

Are you passionate about leading and ready to explore beyond the traditional methods of learning and growing? In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy takes the key role of a 'Sage', discussing a profound approach to self-exploration and the power of understanding yourself beyond typical teaching.
This episode is an exploration into the reality of what it means to be a Sage. If there's one thing that differentiates a Sage from others, it's their deep desire to seek more about themselves and their environment. They have a sense that there is more to their leadership potential and life. As Kris shares in this episode, “A Sage is someone who is well known in their industry, in their space. They are revered. They have built a body of work that has reached a level of excellence in whatever it is that you do. And a Sage is also someone who has wisdom, who has depth of knowing, sort of beyond what would be expected of someone who has lived so far in your lifetime.”
It requires a deep understanding of yourself and what you need. It means daring to leap from the safe plane of learning tactics and strategies to a holistic and personal approach to development. Kris shares that being a Sage means moving from a place of seeking knowledge from external sources, and instead, tapping into your own wisdom and understanding.
Kris also addresses potential triggers and challenges of the Sage journey with honesty and reassurance, and what you can expect within the Sage Advisory. She emphasizes the profound significance of Sage, how it nurtures personal growth, the responsibility it bestows on its participants, and why it isn't a typical group leadership program.
Tune in as Kris presents the empowering foundation of Sage, guiding women to embrace their inherent wisdom and gain a profound depth of self-knowledge.
Key Takeaways From This EpisodeDescription of the Sage Advisory
Giving a Clear Expectation of How the Sage Experience Functions
Definition and Characteristics of a Sage: Importance of self-awareness and introspection.
Purpose and Value of the Sage Experience: Allowing women the space to tap into their own knowing.
Overview of the Teaching and Learning Process: Acknowledging the individualized nature of learning and development; it’s not a typical “program” full of videos to watch and worksheets to complete but a reflective journey where each Sage is her own curriculum.
The Role of Collective and Individual Work in Sage: The individualized nature of the Sage Advisory.

Have you ever felt like you're navigating the difficulties of entrepreneurship all on your own? Do you wonder if the challenges you face are unique to you? In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy reveals the seven unavoidable truths that every female founder and entrepreneur encounters on their journey to success.
Kris starts by addressing the uncomfortable issues that every business leader must face. She emphasizes that whatever challenge or person you wish to avoid, your business will inevitably force you to confront it. Whether it's having difficult conversations, trusting your intuition, or working in partnerships, these challenges are inescapable.
Kris discusses the reality that as the founder, you hold the ultimate decision-making power. If you are the one taking all the risks, it is imperative that you make the final calls. This responsibility is a fundamental aspect of leadership that can’t be delegated.
Another key truth is the ever-changing nature of everyone involved in a business. Kris talks about the inevitability of change—people will leave, roles will evolve, and you, as a leader, will also grow and transform. She stresses the importance of adapting to these changes to maintain a thriving business.
Kris further explains that the people who helped you get to your current level might not be the same ones who will take you to the next stage of your journey. This truth emphasizes the need for continuous evaluation and evolution of your team and personal growth.
This episode of Leadership is Feminine is a discussion of leadership truths that every business runner faces. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of these concepts to better understand and enhance your leadership journey.
“You are already born to lead. You just don't know it. If you struggle with leading, I believe it's not because you're not capable. It's because you don't believe in what you already know about yourself and you question it.”
Key Takeaways From This EpisodeImportance of Facing Challenges Head-On: Your business has a way of forcing you through whatever you don’t want to deal with.
No One Thinks Like You: Establishing clarity on the outcomes and not expecting that things will be done the way you would do them.
Responsibility of a Founder in Decision-Making: Ensure that you are not abdicating in areas of risk in your business.
The Destructive Impact of Unaddressed Issues in a Business: Avoiding problems in your business won’t make them go away.
The Inevitable Change of Your Team and You: Setting the expectation that people on your team will change, and so will you. Those who got you here won’t get you there. And the person you were when you started is not the same version of you that will get you to your goals.
Delineation of Individual Successes Separate From the Overall Business Success: Your success is not their success, and ensuring that compensation is attached with performance and results, not based on how you feel.

In the past 20 years, there has been a wave of women-owned businesses, and women selling those businesses. However, no one is really talking about it. In this mini series, host Kris Plachy is bringing women business owners on to talk about their experiences of selling their businesses. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris talks with Andrea Wagner,PhD. Andrea shares her story and lessons she has learned throughout almost 15 years of starting and selling businesses.
Andrea brings a lot of insight to this conversation on topics such as acquiring funding, identifying market indicators, and how crucial it is to surround yourself with co-founders that have skills which compliment your own. She also talks about her latest projects, Lux Lined and Herizon Funding.
This conversation doesn’t just focus on business advice. Andrea also shares what it was like to experience the emotional journey of selling. Unlike the previous guests in this miniseries, Andrea did not stay on for any transitional period after the close of the sale, and she details what that felt like.
The conversation then turns to the need for more badass women in sales, technical, and financial roles with Kris highlighting an important moment when Andrea leveraged the skills of women in her network without feeling like she had to DIY every aspect of a new business venture. As Andrea perfectly illustrates, "Just do it and move onto your next great thing."
Brace yourself for an episode jam-packed with wisdom, wit, warmth, and women empowerment.
Guest BioAndrea N. Wagner is a dynamic entrepreneur and advocate for women in business, renowned for her significant contributions to the fields of manufacturing and STEM education.

In addition to her professional accomplishments, her efforts to promote equality and create opportunities for women in traditionally male-dominated fields are a testament to her belief in the power of education and empowerment.

In the past 20 years, there has been a wave of women-owned businesses, and women selling those businesses. However, no one is really talking about it. In this mini series, host Kris Plachy is bringing women business owners on to talk about their experiences of selling their businesses. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris talks with Carey Peters. Carey shares her story of owning, selling, and buying multiple businesses over the span of 18 years, with a combined revenue of over $220 million.
Carey details her journey from being a young actor to getting her start in health coaching and how she leveraged a partnership with a colleague to start Holistic MBA, and eventually selling that and rolling it into Holistic Coach Institute. She shares some nuggets of wisdom about critical aspects of the acquisition process and takes us through the highs and lows of business deals and negotiations, including the roller-coaster ride that was selling her cherished business.
The chat shifts gears to what happens post-sale. Carey lays it bare about the range of emotions she experienced, following the acquisition. But amidst it all, she found peace, contentment, and the life-altering realization that business success does not define self-worth.
There is so much we can learn from one another. So tune in to this episode of Leadership is Feminine to tap into the wealth of knowledge from a fellow woman, who has had an incredible business journey.
“So what I learned is that when you're selling, you have to be able to tell the story that your business is an income machine, that if you put in x dollars, it's going to spit out y dollars, and that the total addressable market is z. So the story is you put an x, you spit out y, and this is the number of market share that we could potentially capture. And then that tells the buyer, like, ‘Oh, you know, I get it.’”
Guest BioIn the past 17 years, Carey has founded or co-founded 6 companies that have served over 50,000 clients and students and generated over $200 million in revenue.
Currently, you can see Carey as one of the main instructors of Health Coach Institute, a coaching education company she co-founded with her long-time business partner Stacey Morgenstern.
After years of working with thousands of women to create powerful transformations in their lives, Carey has distilled all of her experience and expertise together for the first time in an all-new body of work called APPETITE: The Mastermind for Women Who Are Hungry For More.

In the past 20 years, there has been a wave of women-owned businesses, and women selling those businesses. However, no one is really talking about it. In this mini series, host Kris Plachy is bringing women business owners on to talk about their experiences of selling their businesses.
In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris talks with Gail O’Rourke. Gail shares her story of owning multiple businesses, and growing them from the ground up, and then selling. She takes us behind the scenes of that big sale – and everything she learned along the way. What it felt like keeping it under wraps, dealing with the legal hiccups along the way, and the bittersweet emotions that came with it. As Gail aptly puts it, "The sale of a business isn't just a transaction, it's a transformation."
Gail talks about what actually sold her business wasn’t the customers or profits she made, it was the process she created that made sales easy, from start to finish. She's big on process management and she attests that a well-oiled process is the secret sauce to business success, whether you're managing teams, training, or onboarding new employees.
Kris talks about how inspiring it is to see what women do after they sell their business. How divine it is when women have freedom to either create something again or invest time in making a difference. And that’s exactly what is next for Gail, who also talks about what she’s been creating with her latest endeavor, Benefact 4.
There’s a wealth of wisdom and inspiration packed into this episode. Tune in to learn more about Gail's remarkable journey on Leadership is Feminine.

When was the last time you had a great idea? Where were you? Who were you with? What were you doing? When women have great ideas, they lead to successes not just in our own lives, but also for the people in our businesses, and they have a positive impact on the world around us.
In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Placy invites us to look at examples of when we have created successes for ourselves, how to be able to recreate those amazing ideas, and the role of self-belief in this process.
Kris discusses how, as women, we need to trust, indulge, and allow our ideas to breathe. She urges that we need visionaries now, more than ever before to solve the world's problems. And too often, women aren’t tuned in to their ideas or they don’t want to do the work that it would take in order to actualize their ideas.
This episode serves as a reminder that it is worth investing in your own thinking. It can be easy to get caught up in the day to day actions of your business, but remember to recognize your potential and the power of your ideas.
“I think women are going to solve the problems of the world. And we have got to start to believe in our own beliefs. We have got to start to believe in our own ideas and we have to start to believe in our own visions.”
Key Takeaways From This EpisodeThe pivotal role of ideas: Importance of ideas as a driver of personal growth and business success
Various types of ideation sources and environments and their influence on idea generation
Necessity for self-belief and belief in one's potential: The courage required for visionaries to pursue their ideas despite difficulties
Encouragement for women to devise strategies and systems that support innovation
The positive effect of acknowledging one's accomplishments and giving credit to oneself

You have built a successful business. You have a team and you’re making money, but something is just not right. It doesn’t feel the way it’s supposed to. Those are the gaps. And while they may be easy to recognize, it might not feel as easy to solve them.
In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy explores the idea that leadership isn’t a skill, but an outcome resulting from a collection of behaviors, abilities, and most importantly, human behavior. She emphasizes that a gap exists in every leader’s capability, often resulting from internalised beliefs and insecurities. And while that may feel like a lot, Kris shares the reminder that all of it is fixable.
A lot of women come to coaching with the hope of getting the specific issues addressed. When really, Kris acknowledges, these leaders know how to solve the problems, they just don’t trust themselves to do it. Kris shares that the work then is to then look at what you believe about yourself, and to overcome insecurities and internalized beliefs that might be getting in the way.
Kris reminds us that leadership isn’t just about how we handle our team, but about how we handle ourselves. As a leader, you owe it to yourself to develop and get stronger, so the frustrations of your business can become less charged and more navigable. If you find your emotions running high when you should be running your business, don’t worry. It’s not you, it's just the gap, and it is totally solvable.
“If you are in a leadership role and you know you have gaps, the one person you owe it to to develop that and move through it and get stronger is you.”
Key Takeaways From This EpisodeThe Complex Nature of Leadership: Leadership isn’t a skill, but instead, is the outcome.
The Gap in Leadership: Discussing issues related to the lack of results despite having a team
Importance of Effective Communication in Leadership: The need to learn effective negotiation techniques with team members.
Solving Leadership Problems: Diagnosing, understanding, and addressing the underlying gaps
Reflecting on the need for self-growth and the importance of standing up for one's truth

You’ve checked all the boxes and you’ve reached a point where many other people would be satisfied, but you know you are ready for more. Do you know what life looks like when you get ‘there’?And do you know how to get from here to there?
In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy talks with guest and former client, Clotilde Dusoulier. Clotilde is a food writer and coach, helping men and women better the relationships with themselves and define success on their own terms.
Clotilde's podcast "Change Ma Vie" and her new book "La Methode Change Ma Vie" are all about defining your personal success and avoiding the trap of toxic positivity. It's not about avoiding difficulties, but rather learning how to negotiate them.
Ever felt that unsettling feeling or like something is missing? Clotilde explains that for many, they choose to push away those feelings with temporary relief in the form of buying more or eating more. Instead, she recommends sitting with the discomfort and being inquisitive in order to determine what needs to change on the inside, and that by answering those questions, life will naturally and beautifully unfold.
Kris and Clotilde also focus on the importance of seeking out new projects and maintaining a commitment to growth. Change in life is inevitable, and it is critical to avoid stagnation and find ways to be flexible. As Clotilde says: "We need to create a life in which we can appreciate what we have and where we are, and also be sowing the seeds of something new and pursuing growth."
This is an enlightening conversation between two kindred spirits, both committed to helping people live exceptional lives. Tune in to Leadership is Feminine and find out how to be the difference for yourself and for others!

Are you abiding by someone else's model of success or are you forging your own path? There’s a lot of noise when it comes to what it means to be a leader and we often find ourselves following the advice of others instead of listening to our own instincts. In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, host Kris Plachy invites listeners to ask themselves where are you following instead of leading?
For many leaders, there’s a point where you start to defer to the people you bring in to your business, your queendom. And slowly, you find yourself being less of a leader and more of a follower. Kris reminds the audience that even though it’s not easy, it is important to not acquiesce to those ideas. Instead of finding someone with the answers, seek out those who ask you questions.
Kris opens up about her own personal journey with social media, revealing her struggle to find a fulfilling and authentic relationship with the platform. She describes the journey she has taken in order quiet the noise, and be able to use the platforms in a way that is aligned with her values and the type of leader she is.
She provides compelling insights into the drawbacks of mimicking someone else's "kit" or model of success instead of figuring out your own unique composition. The episode thoughtfully explores how to navigate the pressures of following the herd, asking more questions than providing answers, keeping you critically engaged. Nonetheless, Kris emphasizes that in spite of the struggles, we have the ability and indeed, the right, to carve our own path.
And so if you were to get really honest with yourself, where are you not leading? Where are you following? Where are you hoping someone else will just throw you the answer?
Key Takeaways From This EpisodeThe Concept of Balance in Leadership: Proposal to balance masculine and feminine perspectives on leadership.
Reevaluation of Social Media and its Impact: Kris shares her personal experience with social media, specifically its performative aspect.
Analyzing the Influence of Others on Our Decisions: Discussion about remaining true to one's values even when they conflict with others' opinions.
The ‘Kit’ Analogy and Self-Discovery: Emphasizing the importance of exploring one's own attributes instead of following others
Reimagining Leadership Structures: Encouragement to pursue genuine leadership.
