Text me!
Have you ever wondered what is the difference between a good leader and a great leader? In today's episode, Ally Stone and I talk through the strategies and practical insights for effective leadership. Ally shares her journey in hospitality leadership and offers insights on culture, leadership, and personal growth. She emphasizes the importance of leading oneself and fostering connection with team members. Allie also discusses the concept of energetic alignment and the significance of listening to one's inner voice. She provides strategies for balancing technology and self-care in a busy world.
Highlights Include:
- Leadership requires self-awareness and a focus on personal growth.
- Fostering connection and building relationships are essential for effective leadership.
- Energetic alignment involves understanding what brings you energy and what drains your energy.
- Listening to your inner voice can lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life.
Ally Stone has been a partner and leader in the hospitality industry since 2005. During that time, she was integral to developing 15 successful businesses and teams. As Director of Culture and Leadership Development, Ally mastered a deep understanding of what it means to be truly connected as a leader and how that drives the success of any business. She bases her leadership style on what she has come to call “Inspired Leadership.” the approach elevates team thinking beyond everyday problems and obstacles, building instead on quality in group and individual connection for lasting effect. This has created a culture of engaged, emerging leaders in her organization that
many admire and emulate to this day.
Ally has worked with thousands of leaders from all levels of organizations. In 2022 Ally was awarded the Transformational Leader Award by The Universal Women’s Network and recognized as The Most Inspiring Leadership Development Company by A. I. International. Ally is also a certified Meditation Teacher, a Heart Math Resilience Mentor, and an ICF Certified Coach working towards her Master's Certification.
Ally is active and loves yoga, biking, hiking, and spending time with her two dogs.
