In this episode I sit down with Heather McDaniel — leadership coach, founder of the Life Love Leadership Project, and creator of the REBEL Method. Heather brings a fresh perspective on what it means to lead in today’s world of rapid change, especially in the high-stakes environment of B2B SaaS.

We dive into the heart of leadership — trust. Trust in ourselves, trust within teams, and the kind of trust that builds psychological safety and resilience in organisations. Heather shares her belief that leadership is no longer about hustling harder or pushing strategy for strategy’s sake — it’s about presence, grounded clarity, and leading without abandoning ourselves or those we serve.
