Laurie shares the pivotal moments in her own leadership journey that revealed why traditional leadership models often fall short and where the real work of leadership truly begins. Together, we explore what it means to move from fixing and managing to leading with intention, awareness, and influence.She offers insights on:Recognizing the moment when doing more no longer creates better results Why leaders default to fixing instead of facilitating growth The internal shifts required to elevate leadership effectiveness How intentional leadership begins internally before it ever shows up externally The quiet leadership saboteurs that limit even high-performing leaders🔑 Key takeaways:Leadership evolution begins with self-awareness, not control Fixing problems can unintentionally limit growth in others Intentional leadership requires slowing down to lead more effectively Sustainable influence starts with mindset before skillset Elevated leadership creates space for people to rise, not depend💡 Quotes to remember: “Leadership stops working when we rely solely on performance instead of presence.” “Elevated leadership isn’t about doing more. It’s about becoming more.”If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but stretched, reactive, or disconnected in practice, this episode will meet you where you are and invite you into a deeper way of leading.Part Two goes even deeper into confident coaching, navigating tough conversations, and elevating culture without burning out.Connect with Laurie Maddalena: Website: https://www.lauriemaddalena.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauriemaddalena/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauriemaddalena/A rising tide raises all ships, and I invite you along on this journey to Evoke Greatness!On a health journey too?
