FREE . LIVE . EVERY MONDAY
What if Monday mornings felt like a breath of fresh air?
Most of us start the week already behind — already reacting, already in someone else's agenda. Motivation Mindset Monday is your weekly invitation to begin differently.
One hour. Every Monday. Free.
A live gathering for anyone ready to start the week with intention.
WHAT IS MOTIVATION MINDSET MONDAY?
A free weekly gathering for anyone who's ready to grow — on their own terms, at their own pace.
Motivation Mindset Mondays is a live, one-hour Zoom call hosted by the Lead the Change community every Monday at 12PM Eastern. It is free, open to everyone, and designed to meet you exactly where you are — whether you're just beginning to explore personal growth, deepening a leadership practice you've already started, or simply craving a place to begin your week with intention rather than on autopilot.
Each week we gather around a different theme — from understanding what truly motivates us, to giving ourselves grace, to exploring the neuroscience behind conscious choice. Every call includes a presencing practice, a short lesson, time to journal, and real conversation in small breakout groups.
This isn't a webinar. It's not a course. It's not a pitch. It's a weekly practice — a consistent, caring space where you are held, challenged gently, and supported in becoming more of who you already know you are capable of being.
"We are here to meet you where you are — and to support you in moving toward where you desire to go. Every week. Without judgment. With full belief in your potential."
— Dawnese & Dr. Jenn, Lead the Change

EVERY MONDAY INCLUDES
An hour that carries you all week long.
Each call is fully standalone — you can drop in any Monday and feel completely at home. Here's what every session holds:
A welcome and presencing practice — We begin by actually arriving. A short practice to help you leave your morning behind and show up in your body, your breath, and this moment.
A short lesson on a theme that matters — 10–12 minutes exploring something real: motivation, vision, self-compassion, the pause between stimulus and response, the stories we live inside, and more. Grounded in neuroscience, conscious leadership, and lived experience.
Journaling time with guided prompts — Bring any notebook. We'll give you prompts designed to open something — not just fill a page. Your journal is yours. Nothing is shared unless you choose to share it.
Real conversation in breakout rooms — Small pairs or groups, guided questions, and the kind of honest exchange that reminds you: you are not alone in this.
A closing intention — We end every call with one affirmation and one commitment to carry into the week. Simple. Grounded. Yours.
Each week a different theme rotates in — so every Monday is fresh, and every Monday is complete.

This Is For You If...
You don't need to have it all figured out.

You start most weeks reactive and wish you could begin with more intention
You're curious about personal growth and want a real, low-pressure place to explore it
You've done transformational work before and want a weekly touchpoint to stay in the practice
You're a leader — at work, at home, or in your community — who wants to lead more consciously
You're craving community with people doing the same inner work — without the small talk
You know you're capable of more — and you're ready for a consistent place to return to yourself
You know you're capable of more — and you're ready for a consistent place to return to yourself.
— Lead the Change
Why We Built This
Because transformation doesn't sustain alone.
We've seen what happens when people do deep, powerful inner work — and then go home to environments where no one speaks that language. The insight fades. The practice quiets. The gap between who you know you can be and who you're showing up as grows a little wider.
Motivation Mindset Monday exists to close that gap.
Not through pressure or performance. Not through perfection or a rigid program. But through the simple, consistent power of showing up — in community, with intention, week after week.
No matter where you are in your growth. No matter what season of life you're in. No matter how long it's been since you last showed up for yourself.
We are here to meet you where you are — and to support you in moving toward where you desire to grow and go.
"Every moment is a choice. And every choice creates a ripple."
This is yours to practice. Every Monday.
