The Power of "With": How Vulnerability Fuels Leadership
<p><strong>Why you should listen:</strong> <br>Most leaders obsess over the "what." What goals? What metrics? What strategy? Damon Young argues we're missing the real work: discerning the "why" and the "how." In this season premiere, Damon shares how journaling, shedding old beliefs, and building learning cultures (not knowing cultures) changed everything for him. If you've ever felt depleted by your own ambition, this conversation is your permission slip to slow down and lead from a different place.</p><p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>The Three Rs:</strong> Revelation without relationship becomes burnout. Responsibility without community becomes isolation.</li><li><strong>Trade-In, Don't White-Knuckle:</strong> Damon's practice of "trading in" limiting beliefs offers a gentler, more sustainable model for growth.</li><li><strong>Control vs. Growth:</strong> Craig Groeschel's binary question and how Damon applied it to board leadership, community work, and personal life.</li><li><strong>Offense as the #1 Blocker:</strong> Why unresolved offense keeps organizations (and entire communities) from moving forward.</li></ul><p>I hope you enjoy this episode!<br>Give it a like, share, and subscribe to not miss the content coming your way weekly.<br>Julia and the Wired to Lead podcast team</p><p><br>Connect with Julia Lefevre on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliaklefevre/<br>Visit the Brave Restoration website here: https://braverestoration.org/</p><p>Listen to Wired to Lead on these podcast platforms:<br>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1hed3JQ5LGi5sQcAXBCYk5<br>Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wired-to-lead/id1818563028<br>Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/e45fe954-ce5e-43d9-92ac-cee721d8dc5c/wired-to-lead</p><p>#WiredToLead #JuliaLefevre #LeadershipPodcast #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfLeadership #PersonalDevelopment #GrowthMindset #MindfulnessAtWork #ResilientLeadership #ExecutiveCoaching #LeadershipGrowth #WomenInLeadership #MentalHealthAtWork #LeadershipSkills #WorkplaceWellness #LeadershipDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #TeamLeadership #MotivationalPodcast #LeadershipTips<br>Wired to Lead, hosted by Julia Lefevre, explores the intersection of neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and leadership.

Why the Best Leaders Stop Trying to Be Perfect
<p><strong>Why you should listen:</strong> <br>Julia and Michael met in a process group. He was the one who stopped calling her "Julie" and started calling her "Julia." That small act of recognition became a turning point in her leadership journey. In this deeply personal episode, they pull back the curtain on identity, CliftonStrengths, and why the nervous system matters more than any strategy deck. If you've ever felt like your greatest strengths were the things people punished you for, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.</p><p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>All Communication Is Identity Negotiation:</strong> The stress at work isn't about the project. It's about who you're being told you need to be.</li><li><strong>CliftonStrengths on Steroids:</strong> Michael's "Core Clarity" approach goes deeper than top-5 lists. It shows how talents interact and gives leaders permission to be great at some things and not others.</li><li><strong>Neural Leadership:</strong> How the brain is physically shaped by relationship, and why this is "next gen" leadership development.</li><li><strong>Cultural Headwinds:</strong> Women leaders with strengths like competition and significance face unique resistance. Michael names it directly.</li></ul><p>I hope you enjoy this episode!<br>Give it a like, share, and subscribe to not miss the content coming your way weekly.<br>Julia and the Wired to Lead podcast team</p><p>Connect with Julia Lefevre on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliaklefevre/<br>Visit the Brave Restoration website here: https://braverestoration.org/</p><p>Listen to Wired to Lead on these podcast platforms:<br>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1hed3JQ5LGi5sQcAXBCYk5<br>Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wired-to-lead/id1818563028<br>Amazon Podcasts: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/e45fe954-ce5e-43d9-92ac-cee721d8dc5c/wired-to-lead</p><p>#WiredToLead #JuliaLefevre #LeadershipPodcast #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfLeadership #PersonalDevelopment #GrowthMindset #MindfulnessAtWork #ResilientLeadership #ExecutiveCoaching #LeadershipGrowth #WomenInLeadership #MentalHealthAtWork #LeadershipSkills #WorkplaceWellness #LeadershipDevelopment #ProfessionalGrowth #TeamLeadership #MotivationalPodcast #LeadershipTips<br>Wired to Lead, hosted by Julia Lefevre, explores the intersection of neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and leadership.

The "Loser Move of the Week" That Built Psychological Safety
<p><strong>What if HR leadership wasn't about compliance but about building belonging, trust, and psychological safety?<br></strong><br></p><p>Jennifer Golynsky has spent decades in HR leadership, and her approach goes far beyond compliance.
