    S3 E19 | The Inner Work of Transformational Leadership

    We often think of leadership in terms of externals such as ethical behavior, good communication skills and sound decision making. But true leadership begins from the inside out. Leaders must first recognize and deal with the uglier parts of themselves — emotional blind spots, ego and insecurities. This requires a significant commitment to doing the inner work of transformation.  In this episode of The Entrepreneur's Studio, we are tackling this subject with three remarkable guests: Ryan Estis, a sales and leadership expert who champions human-centered growth for sustainable success; Stephanie Spencer, an Enneagram coach known for guiding individuals and teams through life's toughest challenges; and Dr. Olivia Audrey, a board-certified naturopathic doctor, whose holistic approach to leadership and healing has transformed the lives of CEOs, Fortune 500 executives and global leaders.  Each of our guests, along with The Entrepreneur’s Studio host, Chris Allen, share a candid conversation geared to help leaders develop practices that not only modify outward behaviors but foster transformation from the inside out.   Key Points: Developing Self-Awareness Trauma’s impact on how we lead Best practices for transformational leadership Resources/Links:  Learn More about our guests.
