Are you a leader who feels trapped in your ways? Or have you embraced a growth mindset? Erin Jewell is an Executive Coach who knows that to be a successful leader, it requires being intentional. If you’re a leader who feels that it’s your responsibility to have all the answers, you could be limiting your team and on the fast track to burnout.

Tune in to find out why a learner’s mindset leads to innovation and creativity, the keys to sustainability for any organization. Hint: Be the leader who is okay with not knowing it all. Lean on your team to support you.

Episode Outline:

• [04:54] When you think about intentionality, intentionality really does support sustainability and it is not a sustainable model to expect all of the information to come from any one single individual.
• [07:25] How the need to overperform can lead to burnout...
• [11:21] Sometimes it could be a deficiency and that the team is broken and needs to be brought back to health.
• [14:22] The impact of non-verbal communication.
• [19:05] Moving beyond this idea of, "I'm someone who identifies as female, I must support other women," moving beyond this, "I have to support women," to, I get to support women.

About Erin Jewell:

Erin was raised with the belief in the possibility that she could do anything, so she ended up

quite quickly having a successful career in Sales Leadership positions in the

pharmaceutical and medical device industry (Pfizer, Boston Scientific, Medtronic). She

jumped four positions from individual contributor to global director of 3 business lines, 80

million in revenue, 200 direct and indirect reports, and felt completely unprepared. After 15

years in the healthcare sector, she decided that it was time to take a big leap and Co-

Founded her own healthcare Start-Up, that built online wellness platforms. As it wasn't

scalable and IT wasn't their core competency half a million later and 3 years down the line

she stopped it. Now Erin is an Executive Mindset and Growth Coach, International Speaker

and Professor of Leadership at Villanova University. As a Coach, Erin works with high-level

executives to make the most out of their teams so they can have more impact.

In this two-part series of Powerful at Work Radio podcast, Rosa speaks to Dov Baron, Leadership Strategist. As someone with years of experience and a global leadership perspective, Dov has seen many companies experience the Peter Principle. The Peter Principle happens when someone has risen up through the ranks and is now in a leadership position, but without the leadership skills necessary to successfully lead. This ends up being a recipe for disaster for everyone involved.

In Episode 45, Rosa and Dov explore the deeper layers of emotional maturity and the deep work that is needed to achieve it.  Dov encourages leaders to focus on becoming a better leader by working on both their emotional intelligence and their emotional maturity. As a bonus, you’ll hear his example about empathy versus compassion.  Tune in to hear more about how you can approach leadership from a place of service and avoid the Peter Principle...

Episode Outline:

• Episode 45
• [0:45] How leadership is a global crisis...
• [04:16] What’s “Dignity Money”?
• [6:49] That was the American dream, this idea that a person could raise themselves up from working class, all the way to the top echelons of the world.
• [14:33] What's the problem? It's always leadership. It's always leadership.
• Episode 46
• [1:08] Emotional Intelligence and Emotional Maturity...
• [7:05] Understanding empathy and compassion in a leadership setting

About Dov Baron:

Dov Baron is “The Dragonist”, Inc. Magazine Top 100 Leadership Speaker, #1 Fortune 500 Podcast Host, Entrepreneur Magazine contributor, Loyalty Authority. Guiding us in how to recognize and nurture dragons (the top talent) hidden in our organizations. A Dragon Leader is not a position, it’s someone who is always pushing to improve and wants those they serve to reach their full potential.

Dov’s humour and no-BS style is contagious. As a master storyteller, he is considered to be the leading authority on actualized leadership. Actualized leadership means getting the result you set out to achieve in the most meaningful manner.

Working with diverse leaders and executive teams, Dov filters common bonds to create Fiercely Loyal cultures. You can’t achieve loyalty without “meaning” and talent only stay when they feel they are a part of something larger than themselves.

Besides being a bestselling author of One Red Thread and Fiercely Loyal: How High Performing Companies Develop and Retain Top Talent, Dov has been named one of Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 Leadership Speakers to Hire and as one of the Top 30 Global Leadership Guru's.
