#101 - Leader Spotlight - Heidi Johnson's Journey to Leadership

Not every road to leadership is a straight one. For Heidi Johnson, her journey to leadership took a few twists and turns before she really sunk into seeing herself as a leader. Now, after 10 years in business – including some pretty major pivots along the way – Heidi is doing work that’s meaningful and that aligns deeply with her core values. And that’s what we discuss in today’s Leader Spotlight. Heidi and I talk about the importance of values – and how she uses her values to steer and guide her business. We also talk about intentional practice as a means of getting better at leadership, and what she’s currently practicing. We wrap up with a very specific story related to every leader’s favourite subject – planning and goal-setting – and how Heidi took a radically different approach setting her goals this quarter to ensure that she’d break the cycle of setting big goals only to be disappointed when they didn’t come to fruition later. This conversation is packed with thoughtful insights and useful perspective shifts for any leader looking to deepen their leadership and grow in 2022. Enjoy the episode.
