WIL Talk #74 Sonya Shelton,CEO, Executive Leadership Consulting

You’re an executive, but are you a leader? Join us as we speak with Sonya Shelton, CEO of Executive Leadership Consulting, #1 Amazon best-selling author, and speaker to unpack the difference between being an executive and a leader. We explore how a toxic work environment impacts leadership and how one might show up.  Plus the importance of leading yourself, understanding your why, and how that contributes to leadership effectiveness. Sonya shares some of her own experiences as an executive when she was head of Disney’s internal communications and the impact uncertainty can have on an organization's people and if not careful can have them stop in their tracks. It is our responsibility to self-regulate and know what impact we are having every step of the way. Leaders are human and experience that uncertainty as well but how we respond to it makes the difference.  She talks about your “why” and how it contributes to your effectiveness as a leader. So many great takeaways and learnings.  If you want to learn more about your leadership, take our free leadership quiz at www.wilempowered.com and let us know what you discover about yourself. And if you need support in building those skills, reach out - we are here to support you.
