Grounding can look very different for different people.”“When your actions, presence, and values align, that’s coherence.”Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeNewsletter: GRACEWorks on SubstackPaul's Media KitFree Masterclass: GRACE Under PressureAudio: 5-Minute Clip on the 'G' of the GRACE FrameworkAbout The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals interested in studying, practicing, and teaching leadership. About  Scott J.
