What if the most sophisticated leadership framework you've ever encountered was grown in a vineyard? In this episode, Lori sits down with her longtime friend Susie Lipps, founder of Conversations in the Vineyard, for a conversation that is equal parts practical wisdom and personal depth. Susie spent decades leading in international organizations before settling in Sonoma County, California, where the rhythms of the vineyard became her lens for rethinking what it means to flourish. The result is a framework as grounded as it is timely. In this episode, you will hear: Why sustainable flourishing requires going 30 feet deep, not just wide How the seasonal rhythms of a vineyard map onto leadership lifecycles What third culture kids understand about rootedness that others often miss The difference between being productive and being fruitful How to lead purpose-driven teams through transformational offsights and retreats Susie Lipps grew up between worlds, spending her childhood in a mud hut in Honduras and a boarding school in Guatemala City.
