🎙️ A Leader’s Purpose with Tami Imlay The podcast for leaders who’ve outgrown surface-level success and are ready for soul-level impact. You’ve built the career, led the teams, checked the boxes—and yet, you’re still asking, “Is this really it?” Welcome to the space where high-achieving, faith-driven leaders come to get honest, get clear, and get aligned. Hosted by executive coach, speaker, and Master Certified Enneagram and NeuroCoach Tami Imlay, this show helps you rise into your next season with confidence, clarity, and purpose—without burning out, starting over, or chucking it all and moving to Bali (tempting as that sounds). With 20+ years of leadership experience—including military service, therapy and neuroscience training, and coaching high-level entrepreneurs and executives—Tami brings both strategy and soul to the mic. After becoming a Gold Star Spouse and walking through her own identity shift, she made it her mission to help other leaders do the same: step into a life and leadership that actually feels like you. Each episode blends truth-telling with tangible tools—expect a little sass, a lot of heart, and zero tolerance for performative leadership. We’ll cover topics like: ✨ Identity clarity & self-awareness using the Enneagram 🧠 Neuroscience-backed tools to rewire limiting beliefs 🎯 Purpose-aligned business and leadership strategy 🧭 Navigating transitions, pivots, and legacy-defining moves 🧘 Burnout recovery and sustainable success 💬 Authentic communication & emotional intelligence 🙏 Faith and leadership integration that doesn’t feel cheesy If you’re circling your calling, craving deeper impact, or just tired of pretending everything’s fine when you’re quietly questioning what’s next—this podcast is for you. Because here’s the truth: ✅ You don’t need another strategy. You need identity clarity. ✅ You’re not behind—you’re right on time. ✅ You already have what it takes. You just need to remember who you are. This is your permission to rise—without losing yourself in the process. Hit subscribe and let’s get started

Hey Friend!
Most people walk into conflict like it’s a battlefield.
They’re reactive. Defensive. And often unclear about what they’re even fighting for.
But what if conflict could become a catalyst instead of a collapse?
In today’s episode, I share 3 things you need to cultivate before conflict even begins—whether it’s at work, at home, or in your own mind.
If you’ve ever left a conversation feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or drained… this episode is for you.
💬 "You can’t control the conflict—but you can control who you are when you walk into it." ~Tami Imlay

🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Why preparing for emotional tension is more important than preparing for what to say
- How humility shifts everything in a high-stakes conversation
- What self-mastery has to do with managing tension and being misunderstood
- Knowing your triggers and desired outcome will protect your peace
- The real reason most conflict spirals (hint: it’s not what they said—it’s how you responded)
💡 The H.T.O. Conflict Prep Model™
Before any tough conversation or high-stakes decision, ask yourself:
- H – Humility: Am I walking in with the belief that I don’t know everything?
- T – Triggers: What could cause me to react instead of respond?
O – Outcome: Am I aiming to protect the relationship or secure a result?
✨ The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:
➡️ ➡️ Conflict isn’t the enemy—unexamined identity is.
When you know your values, triggers, and communication blind spots, you walk into every room with clarity and grounded confidence.
💪 Challenge if you choose to accept it:
Think of a conversation you’ve been avoiding.
Ask yourself the H.T.O. questions—and choose to respond instead of react.
Then take one courageous, prepared step forward.
📝 Journal Prompt for Reflection:
“Where am I letting my reactions lead, instead of my values?”
