In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Shannon Missimer sits down with Kim Napolitano, Senior Sales Executive at Hilton Worldwide Sales and 2024 Smart Meetings Visionary Award recipient. With over three decades at Hilton, Kim brings a wealth of experience in leadership, strategy, and culture—and a deep passion for conscious leadership.

Together, Shannon and Kim explore:

✨ Kim’s personal journey of awakening and how a moment of internal disconnection led her down a path of self-discovery and energetic healing.
 ✨ What conscious leadership really means—and how it’s reshaping team dynamics, retention, and performance.
✨ The importance of leading with empathy, especially for today’s evolving workforce (hello, Gen Z 👋).
✨ Groundbreaking research on how people-first leadership impacts bottom-line business results.
✨ How gratitude, presence, and intentional breathing are the secret tools behind strong, centered leaders.
✨ Why letting go (with grace) can be one of the most empowering forms of leadership.

This conversation is a must-listen for business leaders, entrepreneurs, HR professionals, and anyone passionate about bringing more humanity into the workplace. If you’ve ever felt the nudge that there has to be more, this episode will meet you there.
