After burnout forced her to pause, Anette Lan, founder of Enso Mindset, began asking different questions about leadership. In this episode, she joins host Michi Lantz and shares how identity, energy, and language shape the way we lead, and why knowing who you are creates a different kind of discipline and growth.

Anette Lan Nossiter works at the intersection of leadership, language, and technology, exploring how energy moves through people, teams, and systems and how those subtle dynamics shape performance long before results are visible.

She is the co-founder of Miru Pulse™, a human-centred diagnostic platform focused on the side of leadership most organizations don’t measure. Alongside her work as a tech co-founder, she leads Ensō Mindset, where she developed the Human Impact Kata, a Japanese-inspired leadership practice grounded in repetition, presence, and real-world application.

She is also the author of Ensō, A Tree Still Grows, where she shares her story as a Canadian-Japanese leader and founder, and the shift that changed how she understands leadership, not as something to chase, but something to grow into. She’s interested in what becomes possible when organizations learn to understand not just what people do at work, but how they are while doing it.
