In this week's episode of The Language of Leadership, host Chuck Marting is joined by Maryanne Renner, a leadership coach, keynote speaker, and author of the book 'Self-Talk: 10 Stories You Tell Yourself That Hold You Back and How to Overcome Them Now.' 

They discuss the impact of self-talk on leadership, and how it shapes behavior, emotions, and outcomes. Marianne shares insights from her book on identifying and rewiring limiting internal narratives, integrating practical exercises to transform self-talk, and the significance of vulnerability and active listening in effective leadership. 

The conversation also covers personal accountability, handling conflict, and the role of neuroplasticity in personal growth. Renner highlights that when you change your self-talk, everything changes.
