Ep 41: How Our Past Shapes Our Leadership Habits with Latise Moore
How Childhood Patterns Shape Your Leadership (Coaching vs Therapy, and Behaviors vs Personality)

They clarify the difference between coaching and therapy, and discuss how various childhood events, conversations, and even birth order can influence your leadership habits today. Latise explains trauma-processing modalities EMDR and brain spotting as somatic, body-focused approaches, while Brittany shares her personal experience with EMDR reducing anxiety and changing core beliefs.
Key takeaways:
○ Specific childhood conversations, events, traumas, and even birth order likely ingrained certain survival behaviors and patterns that you still do today.
○ They likely helped you get to where you are today, but are no longer sustainable.
○ To identify our learned, protective behaviors, you will notice that they feel rigid, like you have to do it to avoid something bad or avoid feeling a certain way.
○ Attached to all of these protective behaviors are negative beliefs we have about ourselves that we need to shift in order to consistently shift our behavior.

Ep 40: Navigating Unwritten Corporate Culture Rules with Dr. Pravi Devineni
Unwritten Rules at Work: Navigating Corporate Culture and Diverse Backgrounds While Building Trust with Dr. Pravi Devineni
📥 FREE RESOURCE: What habits are quietly working against your leadership? Take the Leadership Blind Spot Audit https://www.hellovelocity.co/blindspot (https://www.hellovelocity.co/blindspot)
Host Brittany Canaski speaks with Dr. Pravi Devineni, lead AI scientist at Duke Energy, about the unwritten rules and cultural norms that shape communication, influence, and relationships in corporate America.
Pravi shares how moving from India to the U.S. for a PhD required learning new behaviors like speaking up in discussion-based classes, making small talk, and masking emotion in professional settings. Plus humorous examples of jargon and idioms causing confusion. Pravi also briefly addresses AI adoption, emphasizing literacy, accountability, and safety.
Key takeaways:
○ Corporate dynamics and influence are often driven by visibility, ego, and recency bias.
○ We can build trust at work through consistency, negotiating workload, clarifying expectations, and developing “accent empathy.”
○ Corporate jargon, idioms, and acronyms often cause more confusion than they are worth.

Ep 39: How Your Emotional Intelligence is Impacting Your Leadership with Fay Niewiadomski
Business Emotional Intelligence: The 8 Soft Skills That Make or Break Leadership and How Women Get Trapped to The Sticky Floor
📥 FREE RESOURCE: What habits are quietly working against your leadership? Take the Leadership Blind Spot Audit https://www.hellovelocity.co/blindspot (https://www.hellovelocity.co/blindspot)
Host Brittany Canaski talks with Fay Niewiadomski about business emotional intelligence - work-relevant emotional capabilities that drive performance and relationships. Fay explains eight key factors: decisiveness, motivation, influence,adaptability, conscientiousness, empathy, stress resilience, andself-awareness. They discuss how differences in these skills can create tension and not feeling safe unless teams understand and bridge behavioral drivers.
Key takeaways:
While personality is fixed, behavior is a choice. With greater self-awareness, we can choose to respond intentionally instead of react automatically.
Women often get stuck in a burnout “triangle” of high empathy, high conscientiousness, and low adaptability that shows up as people-pleasing, rule-following, and difficulty saying no.
Fay advises building influence, not waiting for permission, and consulting leaders with options rather than asking what to do.
