62: Leading in a Post-Pandemic World with Sam Palazzolo

As heart-centered professionals, leading in a post-pandemic world is no easy task. You want to be empathic and compassionate, and at the same time, ensure you can deliver results with high quality. Work needs to get done, and you are finding ways to do it. For some, you may be enjoying working from home. For others, you’ve never left the front lines. Today, my guest has helped tens of thousands of people SHOW UP and lead more authentically to make the impact they want. 

Sam Palazzolo and I get on the mic to discuss how to lead more effectively in this ever-changing environment. We also talk about what it may be like to go back to the worksite when it’s the right time, the difference between leading and managing, and how being more empathic will help you lead from a greater place of influence and impact.
