What if the secret to high-performing, happy teams had nothing to do with working harder, and everything to do with how it feels to work with you?

In this episode of "Leading for Wellness," Dr. Patricia Grabarek and Dr. Katina Sawyer dive into the underrated superpower of leadership: setting the right tone.

From stories of care packages on the front lawn during COVID to coworkers driving each other to urgent care, Patricia and Katina reveal how small, consistent acts of kindness spark cultures where everyone steps up, not just the leader. And guess what? The better your team vibes, the less you have to carry alone. 💡

Whether you're leading a massive team or just starting to shape your workplace, this episode will challenge how you think about productivity, leadership, and the legacy you're building… one intentional tone at a time. 💛
