Wednesday, May 13, 2026
Becoming the CEO of your life is one thing when you're planning for the future, but it's another thing entirely to execute that plan. In our season finale, we focus on how to move from inspiration to integration by turning the insights from this season into a clear, personal operating system.
In this episode, we hear from Nicole Johnston, a Tippie alum, advisory board member, and leadership coach. As an expert in helping high-achievers bridge the gap between theory and execution, Nicole shares how to operationalize your vision and stay the course when things get complicated. She discusses how to take the "CEO" mindset and apply it to the practical realities of your work and life.
Later in the show, we'll hear from Tippie student Keegan Schaeffner. Keegan’s story explores the importance of finding your voice and the leadership lesson she learned about the power of self-advocacy during her very first job.
And finally, we will bring it all together with a Final Tip(pie) just for you.
