The communication skill of connecting with others – and creating the emotional space for others to open up – requires deep trust. Without trust, leaders and teams struggle to achieve extraordinary results. In two 4-hour sessions, you will discover the underpinnings of trust and how to build trust at all levels.

3 key principles to become a respected leader

October 31, 20241 min read

If you want to be a leader your team respects:

→ Stand beside them, not above them.

What not to do as a leader:

❌ Micromanage
↳ This kills creativity and innovation.

❌ Ignore their well-being
↳ This leads to disengagement and burnout.

❌ Forget they’re human
↳ This makes them feel disconnected and undervalued.

What to do as a leader:

✅ Lead by example
↳ Demonstrate integrity, respect, and transparency.
↳ Inspire others through your actions, not just words.

✅ Protect your team from burnout
↳ Set realistic expectations & honor work-life harmony.
↳ Recognize and address signs of stress before it escalates.

✅ Create a safe space for honest conversations
↳ Encourage honest sharing of ideas and concerns.
↳ Respond with empathy and understanding.

You are there to serve, support, and uplift.

Your team’s success = your success.

Be the leader you’d want to work for.
