In this episode, Jeff Giagnocavo, the owner of Gardner's Mattress and More, joins Mark Kinsley to co-host today's Sleep Summit Show. Together, they explore how leaders can create safe, nurturing spaces for their teams and Giagnocavo shares how he transformed his childhood trauma into motivation to lift others up.

1) Leaders must demonstrate vulnerability and find empathy to understand their team. Suppressing emotions creates barriers.

2) Reframing problems as opportunities allows creativity to flourish. Teams should bring solutions, not just issues.

3) Turning trauma into power requires recognizing that today's stresses aren't yesterday's hurts. Leaders must respond with patience.

Plus, get a sneak peek into Giagnocavo new book "The Space for Leadership." In this book, he focuses on high-ticket small businesses and coaches them to grow through vision and strategy. By opening up about overcoming abuse, he aims to help leaders and teams unite in purpose.
