Who Are You To Lead Anyway? – Details, episodes & analysis

Send us a text

Hey there, listeners!

In this episode, I want to dive into something that’s been on my mind lately—how our personal stories shape who we are and how we show up in the world. I’ve been reflecting on the narratives we tell ourselves and how they can sometimes limit us from reaching our full potential.

I’ll be sharing some of my own experiences with the stories I’ve told myself and how stepping outside of those narratives has led to profound changes in my life. We’ll explore practical tips for identifying and challenging the beliefs that might be holding you back and discuss how you can rewrite your story to align with your highest aspirations.

We’ll also touch on the courage it takes to confront these personal stories and make conscious choices that reflect your true self. Think of this episode as a gentle nudge to look at your own story from a new perspective and find ways to step into a narrative that empowers and uplifts you.

So, grab a cup of coffee, get comfy, and let’s embark on this journey together. I hope you leave this episode feeling inspired to take charge of your story and move forward with renewed purpose.

I can’t wait for you to listen!

Ready to LEAD with IMPACT 🎯 Get the details here.  

With warmth and encouragement,
Cynthia

Have you ever felt undervalued after a simple exchange? I bet you have and today I want to share how a recent experience that reminded me of the importance of how we show up in EVERY interaction—no matter how small.

Join me for my 108perspective about why these moments matter, the lessons they offer, and consider some practical strategies on how we can use interactions to live and lead intentionally and build trust and strengthen relationships along the way.

Here's why this is so important:

👉 Every interaction counts and is an opportunity to lead.

Remember, leadership is a journey. Let's make sure every step reflects the leader we aspire to be.

Welcome back to "Who Are You to Lead Anyway?" I'm Cynthia Jamieson, and in today's episode, I'm excited to share some invaluable leadership insights inspired by my recent time with my granddaughters—a lively three-year-old and a precious five-month-old.

As I observed them, I couldn't help but marvel at the lessons they effortlessly teach about leadership and life. From their insatiable curiosity and openness to their authentic emotional expression and resilience, children embody qualities that can profoundly impact how we lead.

Join me as I explore how embracing authenticity and resilience, living in the moment, fostering creativity, and nurturing emotional intelligence can enhance our leadership effectiveness. I delve into practical exercises and tips, inviting you to adopt a "fascinated anthropologist" mindset in your interactions, reflect on your unique leadership strengths, and incorporate mindfulness practices into your daily routine.

Drawing parallels between children's natural adaptability and the demands of leadership in today's dynamic world, I emphasize the importance of building genuine relationships and cultivating adaptability within our teams.

Don't miss this opportunity to discover how the wisdom of children can enrich your leadership journey. Subscribe, share this episode with fellow leaders, and together, let's lead with curiosity, authenticity, and heart.

Join me as we learn to lead with the wisdom of a child today!

As a leader, you’re responsible and accountable for giving feedback to each member of your team. And you need to step outside of your comfort zone and ask for feedback for your own growth journey.

Why? Simply put, without discussing real issues trust can't be built and potential can't be met; let alone, unlocked. 

I’ve said for years a great leader is someone who gets things done with and through people; so, in today’s episode, I’m excited to share:

·      My Six (6) key points to enable feedback.

·      A simple three (3) step model and how anyone can use it. 

·      Behaviours to support GREAT feedback.

·      How to see feedback as a gift.

Tune in and learn how to make your feedback worth giving (and receiving).

With grit & gratitude,
Cynthia
