About Andrea Liebross:

Andrea is the go-to expert for high-achieving women entrepreneurs. She helps bold, ambitious women shift from thinking small and feeling overwhelmed to gaining the clarity, confidence, and freedom they crave—in both business and life. As a strategic business coach and life balance architect, Andrea believes the secret sauce to achieving big results comes down to two critical ingredients: solid systems and a powerful, expansive mindset. Andrea is an accomplished speaker, the author of the bestselling She Thinks Big: The Entrepreneurial Woman’s Guide to Moving Past the Messy Middle and Into the Extraordinary, and the host of the She Thinks Big Podcast.

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Andrea Liebross discuss:

• Evolving expectations of modern CEOs and their mindset shifts
• Emotional alignment and the role of joy in leadership effectiveness
• Transitioning from operational execution to strategic vision
• Embracing uncertainty as a necessary element of growth
• The influence of clarity, belief, and intentionality in decision-making

Key Takeaways:

• Andrea Liebross presents the TRUST framework as a mindset tool for big thinkers, encouraging leaders to explore their thought options, identify the real problem, embrace uncertainty, secure the right support, and move from passive learning to taking massive action.
• Many small business CEOs experience burnout from juggling every role, making it critical to shift into true leadership through intentional delegation and alignment with both business goals and personal values.
• Long-term leadership success comes from saying unapologetic yeses to opportunities that foster growth and firm noes to distractions, helping leaders conserve their time, energy, and clarity of purpose.
• When faced with chaos or transition, leaders gain power by creating clarity—separating facts from internal narratives—so they can make grounded decisions driven by belief rather than fear.

"Joy comes from believing that you're capable and deserving of the success, not just hustling for it.” — Andrea Liebross
