255. The Leader’s Relationship with Power: Holding Influence with Heart

Power. It’s a word that can feel loaded, especially for leaders who want to do good, not just get things done. In this episode, I’m diving deep into how we hold power as leaders, and how our relationship with influence shapes our teams, our work, and ourselves.

I share personal stories from my own leadership journey and the subtle shifts I’ve made to lead with more presence, intention, and care. Whether you manage a team or simply hold influence in your community, this conversation is a powerful reminder that leadership isn't just about results, it’s about relationships.

Let’s explore how we can lead with clarity, integrity, and a whole lot of heart.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why power isn’t about control and how to reframe it as influence
• How to recognize subtle signs your leadership needs reflection
• Five impactful shifts to lead with empathy and effectiveness

Key Takeaways:

• Power is a neutral force; how we use it defines its impact
• Intentions don’t always match impact, so awareness is key
• Trust grows when we use our power to uplift, not dominate
