Own Your Job with Winnie da Silva

Wednesday, October 7, 2026 • Duration 03:43

Are you really owning your job, or just getting through it? In this episode, I’m thinking about what it actually means to take ownership of your work when you’re not the owner. I’m talking about accountability, curiosity, emotional intelligence, resilience - and how those qualities can help me move through the barriers, complexity, and frustration that come with work.

You Are Built for Transformation with Winnie da Silva

Wednesday, July 1, 2026 • Duration 09:28

“The moments that stretch us most as leaders often become the moments that transform us most — if we are willing to engage them intentionally.” - Winne da Silva

Growth sounds inspiring until it asks you to let go of the habits, mindsets, and approaches that got you where you are today. So what happens when your greatest strengths start becoming your biggest limitations? And how do you continue evolving as a leader in a world that's changing faster than ever before?

In this final episode of Season 6, I'm reflecting on the biggest lessons from our Think Differently, Transform How You Lead series. I revisit the leadership myths we've challenged, the frameworks we've explored, and the reality that meaningful transformation is rarely quick, easy, or comfortable.

You'll hear me discuss:

Why transformation often begins when the approaches that once made us successful stop working
How complexity, uncertainty, and rapid change are reshaping what leadership requires from us
Why avoiding conflict can quietly undermine trust, innovation, and team effectiveness
The leadership qualities that become even more valuable as AI continues to evolve
Why strategic thinking, judgment, communication, empathy, and influence remain deeply human advantages
How growth happens through experimentation, reflection, practice, and challenge
The role trusted partners, coaches, and advisors can play in accelerating transformation

Beyond the Framework: Three Real Stories of Leadership Transformation with Winnie da Silva

Wednesday, June 24, 2026 • Duration 25:27

"Transformation of any kind is rarely one insight, one coaching session, one workshop, or one conversation.” - Winnie da Silva

Leadership challenges are rarely just about what’s happening on the surface. The issue that keeps resurfacing, the team dynamic that won’t improve, or the frustration you can’t seem to solve may actually be driven by something much deeper.

In this episode, I share three real client stories from my executive coaching, leadership development, and team effectiveness work to show how lasting transformation happens when we uncover the stories, assumptions, leadership habits, and trust dynamics shaping our behavior and results.

You'll hear me discuss:

How the stories we tell ourselves influence the way we lead and the results we create
Why one leader's hidden assumptions were keeping him stuck and preventing real progress
How adaptive leadership helps us choose the right approach for the right person and situation
What causes leaders to unintentionally overuse their preferred leadership style
Why communicating your leadership intent can strengthen trust and improve team performance
How trust grows when people move beyond assumptions and gain a deeper understanding of one another
The common thread connecting leadership challenges across individuals, teams, and organizations

Building Trust Intentionally with Winnie da Silva

Tuesday, June 23, 2026 • Duration 16:19

“Trust doesn’t just magically happen or appear. It’s built through deliberate action and honest conversations.” - Winnie da Silva

Trust impacts everything at work - communication, collaboration, influence, decision-making, and team culture. But most leaders still treat it like something that naturally develops over time instead of something that needs real intention and strategy. In this episode, I’m unpacking how trust actually gets built, why it breaks down so easily, and the practical frameworks I use with leadership teams to strengthen the relationships that matter most.

You’ll hear me discuss:

Why broken trust quietly drains energy, productivity, and team effectiveness
The four core components of trust: knowing the person, competence, sincerity, and reliability
Why people approach trust completely differently and how misunderstanding that creates friction
Practical ways to intentionally strengthen trust through better conversations and clearer expectations
Why senior leaders must learn to build trust horizontally across the organization, not just within their teams
How understanding someone’s motivations, values, and “currency” improves influence and collaboration
The stakeholder analysis tool I use to help leaders build stronger, more strategic work relationships

Intentional Leadership Is Adaptive Leadership with Winnie da Silva

Wednesday, June 10, 2026 • Duration 17:59

“Adaptive leadership is about choosing the right leadership approach for the right people in the right situation.” - Winnie da Silva

Some leaders hold on too tightly. Others delegate too fast. In this episode, I break down the adaptive leadership framework I’ve used for years with everyone from first-time managers to CEOs, and explain why effective leadership is rarely about sticking to one style.

I walk through the continuum of directing, collaborating, and delegating, and share how I decide which approach fits the person, the situation, and the moment.

You’ll hear me discuss:

Why adaptive leadership is about choosing the right leadership approach for the right person and situation
How the leadership continuum shifts between directing, collaborating, and delegating
The three things I evaluate before deciding how to lead someone
How trust, risk tolerance, and leadership instincts shape leadership decisions
Why clarity and direction can slowly turn into micromanagement
How collaboration and delegation build ownership, growth, and stronger decision-making
Why great leaders constantly reassess and adapt instead of relying on one leadership style

Rethinking Your Stories with Winnie da Silva

Wednesday, June 3, 2026 • Duration 12:50

“If we want better results, we have to examine the stories and assumptions driving our behavior.” - Winnie da Silva

Some leadership challenges don’t start with strategy or communication, but rather they start with the stories we’re telling ourselves. The assumptions running quietly in the background about who I am, who other people are, and how things work.

In this episode, I explore how those internal narratives shape our behavior, influence our leadership, and ultimately impact the results we get. I also break down how changing the story can lead to completely different outcomes.

You’ll hear me discuss:

How the stories we tell ourselves shape our behavior and results
The three types of stories that influence leadership decisions every day
Why certain problems keep repeating until we challenge the assumptions underneath them
How stories about other people affect trust, collaboration, and conflict
The importance of catching ourselves in the moment and questioning our assumptions
Why curiosity is far more productive than self-judgment when trying to grow as a leader
How adopting a new story can create better behaviors and better outcomes

Anti-Networking: How Relationships Create Opportunity with Carly Valancy

Wednesday, May 27, 2026 • Duration 52:23

“When you can show up in service of someone else’s work ahead of your own, it stops feeling transactional.” - Carly Valancy

Networking has become one of the most dreaded words in professional life. It feels transactional, awkward, and exhausting. But in a world increasingly driven by AI and digital communication, real human connection may be more valuable than ever.

In this episode, I sit down with Carly Valancy, founder of Reach Out Party, to talk about her philosophy of “anti-networking” - a more human, generous, and courageous way to build relationships and create opportunity.

You’ll hear us discuss:

Why traditional networking feels so uncomfortable and how to approach it differently
Carly’s framework for writing “unignorable” messages that people actually respond to
The hidden fears that stop most people from reaching out in the first place
Why reaching out is one of the highest leverage things you can do for your career
How planting seeds for your future self can create opportunities years later
The unexpected internal confidence shift that happens when you consistently put yourself out there
Why meaningful human connection is becoming a major differentiator in an AI-driven world

The Leadership Power of Tiny Experiments with Winnie da Silva

Wednesday, May 20, 2026 • Duration 12:44

“Leadership growth happens when we begin practicing new behaviors in the real world.” - Winnie da Silva

Some of the biggest leadership breakthroughs don’t come from massive reinventions. They come from one small shift repeated consistently over time.

In this episode, I’m digging into why so many leaders get stuck thinking about growth instead of actually practicing it and why tiny experiments might be one of the most powerful tools for real leadership development.

You’ll hear me discuss:

Why leaders often get trapped thinking about growth instead of practicing new behaviors
How tiny experiments reduce overwhelm and make meaningful change feel more achievable
Why confidence is usually built through action and repetition, not before it
The power of small, consistent leadership behaviors over dramatic transformation
How reflection frameworks like “plus, minus, next” help create sustainable growth
What I learned from running my own public leadership experiment around strategic thinking
Why experimentation, adaptability, and continuous learning are becoming essential leadership skills today

Stop Telling, Start Asking with Winnie da Silva

Wednesday, May 13, 2026 • Duration 13:42

“Leadership at scale isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about drawing out other people’s thinking.” - Winnie da Silva

Why do so many leaders feel like they have to carry all the answers, and what is it actually costing them?

In this episode, I unpack one of the most overlooked leadership tools: asking better questions. I share why constantly jumping in with solutions can quietly limit your team’s thinking, and how shifting toward thoughtful, open-ended questions can completely change the way you lead. It doesn’t mean stepping back or losing authority, but it does elevate the quality of conversations, decisions, and ownership across your team.

You’ll hear me discuss:

Why having all the answers can actually hold your team back
How asking questions creates ownership instead of dependency
The connection between inquiry and reducing defensiveness
How better questions uncover hidden risks, assumptions, and blind spots
Why leaders who ask more questions tend to make stronger decisions
How questions build trust and increase accountability across teams
Simple, real-world questions you can use in conversations starting today
