Hey everyone, welcome back to "Everyday Leaders, Leading Exceptionally." In this episode, I am thrilled to welcome back Julie Cnossen, our esteemed guest. Julie and I have shared quite a journey over the past 15 years. For over a decade, we worked together in various capacities, and her insights into leadership development are truly invaluable. Today, we dive into an engaging discussion about the continuous journey of self-awareness and its impact on effective leadership. Drawing inspiration from Brene Brown's poignant words, "Who you are is how you lead," we explore how bringing our whole selves into our work is not just a necessity but a strength that can drive authentic leadership.

We share personal experiences, emphasizing the importance of building human-centered leadership that fosters authentic relationships. We dissect the intricacies of conflict management, recognizing that conflict is inevitable but should be addressed head-on. By reframing conflict as an opportunity for growth and service, we discover how leaders can transform potentially negative situations into powerful avenues for strengthening relationships and enhancing team productivity. The practical advice we share on navigating these discomforts is sure to resonate with new and seasoned leaders alike, as we encourage an ongoing cycle of introspection and adaptation.

As we wrap up the episode, I reflect on my leadership journey and the pivotal moments that have shaped my path. From tough feedback sessions to the grounding influence of mentors like Josh, who balanced care and accountability, I open up about the transformative power of self-awareness and emotional intelligence. Our conversation underscores the importance of staying curious, prioritizing well-being, and maintaining accountability in all relationships. With heartfelt gratitude for Julie's openness, we set the stage for future discussions that will delve even deeper into the nuances of leading with integrity and empathy. So, join us on this enlightening journey, and let’s explore how we can all become exceptional everyday leaders.
