Leading With Your Gut

If you’re in a leadership position where you oversee adults or students, are a business owner, or manage clients, this episode is for you. This week on Leading With Your Gut, I share 5 values that I believe all leaders should commit to in order to stay focused, build trust, and grow. Many of you know that my career started out as a public school teacher managing students, district standards, and parent expectations; then I transitioned into the corporate setting managing adults before becoming an executive coach and workplace consultant. 

In my professional experience, one of the best ways to lead others in any capacity is to choose a set (about 5) of values that pertain to your team or situation; communicate those values clearly with your direct reports, and stick by them. The 5 values that I have chosen to discuss are the following, in no particular order:

1. Empathy
2. Vulnerability
3. Acceptance
4. Transparency
5. Accountability

After the episode, DM me on Instagram @leadingwithyourgut or @jennareneeshellman to share what your values are, or what you think of the values I've chosen to discuss. Email: [email protected]

This week on Leading With Your Gut, Nerissa and I talk about the importance of serving ourselves. She says that when we serve ourselves, we're serving the wider world. So why is it so hard for us to be good to ourselves? To be kind, experience joy, and love ourselves? Sometimes we forget that our self-worth matters and we focus so much on helping others. However, Nerissa believes that in order for us to convert others, we need to convert ourselves first.

NYAM is a platform dedicated to empowering parents, especially mothers, by helping them remember who they were before having children, and poking fun at the hard parts of raising children. Arianna is a former musician, an introvert, and a Black mother who is navigating raising multiracial children.
