Heart Health Is a Leadership Skill

Jan 28, 2026

We talk often about leadership skills — decision-making, communication, strategy, resilience. But there’s one skill that underpins all of them and too often gets overlooked: heart health.

Heart disease is the #1 health risk for women. And yet, many high-achieving women don’t know the critical numbers that could save their lives — or how to confidently advocate for themselves in healthcare settings.

That’s why I’m hosting a Leadership Lab conversation I truly hope you’ll join:

Leading with Heart: What Every Woman Needs to Know About Heart Health
📅 February 5
⏰ 12:00 PM MTN
📍 Live on Zoom

I’ll be joined by Dr. Maggie Teliska — an energy industry leader, WomenHeart® Champion, and patient experience advocate — for a practical, empowering discussion about heart health through a leadership lens.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • The heart-health numbers every woman should know
  • What common tests actually mean — and which questions to ask
  • How self-advocacy in healthcare is a core leadership skill

This isn’t about fear or doing more.
It’s about awareness, self-trust, and sustainability — so you can lead with clarity and care for the long term.
