In this episode, Kevin and Lisa Goldenthal discuss:

• How emotional intelligence and self-awareness drive leadership excellence
• Why leaders must manage their energy with intention, not accident
• Escaping burnout through discipline, boundaries, and habit-stacking
• The shift from hustle culture to presence, empathy, and communication
• Building confidence, clarity, and courage through self-leadership

Key Takeaways:

• Leadership begins with managing your own energy. Everything a leader touches is influenced by the state they bring into the room: their clarity, presence, discipline, and emotional grounding. When leaders intentionally shape their inner world, they naturally elevate their outer impact. 
• Emotional intelligence isn’t optional anymore — it’s the skill that separates leaders people follow from leaders people tolerate. 
• Burnout is often a byproduct of mismanaged priorities. High-performers excel at discipline in their careers but often fail to apply that same discipline to their own well-being. When leaders delegate, set boundaries, and build small but powerful habits, they create sustainability instead of exhaustion. 
• Communication is more than what you say; it’s how deeply you connect. Leaders build engagement by listening more than they speak, showing genuine interest, looping for understanding, and creating relational safety within their teams. Influence grows when people feel seen.

"Communication is so much more than speaking. It's really listening more than you speak." – Lisa Goldenthal
