What does true leadership look like in today’s world?
In this powerful episode of Living a Life by Design, Dr. Esther Graham sits down with executive coach and leadership strategist Ingrid Wallace to explore the transformative C.A.R.E. Principle — a leadership framework rooted in Consideration, Awareness, Respect, and Engagement.
With more than 40 years of experience working with Fortune 100 companies, nonprofit organizations, and leaders across the globe, Ingrid shares practical wisdom on how leaders can move beyond performance metrics and begin building cultures where people feel valued, empowered, and inspired to grow.
Together, Esther and Ingrid discuss:

• Why people leave leaders, not organizations
• How intentional communication shapes workplace culture
• The importance of accountability and emotional intelligence in leadership
• How leaders can empower teams instead of controlling them
• Why culture must be created strategically and intentionally
• The connection between leadership, relationships, marriage, ministry, and personal growth

Ingrid also shares a moving story about meeting Nelson Mandela and the unforgettable leadership lessons she learned from his humility, strength, and grace.
Whether you are a CEO, entrepreneur, educator, ministry leader, parent, or simply someone striving to lead with greater purpose and integrity, this conversation will challenge and inspire you to rethink what leadership truly means.
✨ Remember: Live every day by design, not by default.
