What makes someone a great leader? Is it having all the answers, being the smartest person in the room, or knowing how to get people to follow your lead? Marcy Schwab believes it starts with something much more human: how we listen, communicate, and make people feel.Marcy is an executive coach and founder of Inspired Leadership, where she helps leaders challenge assumptions, broaden perspectives, and lead more effectively. After a career in corporate leadership, Marcy discovered the power of coaching and how asking the right questions can transform not only our professional lives, but our relationships with the people around us.In our conversation, we talk about resilience, trusting your gut, and how the words we choose can completely change a conversation's outcome. We explore why leaders need to get comfortable with self-doubt, how empathy and emotional intelligence can build trust at work, and what it means to show up as a whole person in the workplace.Marcy also shares why our brains can change at any age, how we can reconnect with the creativity we had as children, and what to do when the path that looks right on paper doesn't feel right to you.This is a conversation about leadership, yes, but it's also about learning to listen to ourselves and each other a little better. Because sometimes becoming a better leader starts with becoming a little more human.Inspired Leadership's WebsiteMarcy's LinkedIn Link to purchase:FYLPxTracee Badway Merch CollaborationFYLPxWRDSMTH Merch Collaboration*suggestion is to size upDownload this episode of For Your Listening Pleasure wherever you get your podcasts!
