Who Are You To Lead Anyway?

Send us a text

Discover the hidden costs of taking feedback too personally as a leader—a pitfall I've observed repeatedly in my coaching practice. Join me, Cynthia Jamison, as we navigate the waters of leadership emotions and the primal fear responses that can hijack our better judgment. I unravel the threads of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn reactions in this episode, sharing insights and personal tales that underline the importance of resilience and poise. Prepare yourself with strategies to keep your cool in the heat of conflict and criticism, fortifying your leadership and enhancing team dynamics.
Are your internal narratives holding you hostage? I illuminate the path to self-awareness, helping you to identify your emotional triggers and untangle feelings from facts—key approaches to avoiding misinterpretation. We delve into the power of empathy in understanding multiple perspectives, and I'll guide you through mindfulness rituals and stress management tools, essential for maintaining emotional balance. This conversation is more than just a lesson in self-control; it's a heartfelt thanks for the chance to inspire and support a new era of leaders, providing you with the wisdom needed to transform challenges into stepping stones for success.
