✅ The critical role of self-awareness, curiosity, and adaptability
✅ Why “this is just my leadership style” no longer works
✅ How to build trust, accountability, and psychological safety in real time
This conversation is a must-listen for leaders, HR professionals, and coaches committed to building future-ready cultures and driving sustainable performance from the inside out.
