We talk about the people who light us up as leaders. Vanessa shares what she learns from her yoga teacher. Clear voice. Kind edge. Safe space. TK brings a scene from The West Wing that still moves him. Courage. Values. Staying the course. We ask what of those qualities already live in us, and which one we want to stretch next.

It gets real. We name the tug between humility and confidence. How empathy can help and also drain. How we hold back in groups, yet find our voice one to one. We play with a simple idea. Borrow one quality from someone you admire. Try it for a week. You do not need the whole person. Just the bit you need right now. 😊

Listen in for small, honest steps. Pick a person. Name the trait. Practise it in the next meeting or class. Notice what changes. We are not aiming for perfect. We are aiming for conscious choices. That is leadership from the inside out. 🔥
