In a thoughtful conversation on Beverly Williams' podcast, leadership

expert Kevin Eikenberry shared powerful lessons about potential, leadership,

and navigating today's evolving workplace. Here are some key takeaways:

🔹 Think of Leadership as a Verb, Not a Title

Kevin emphasized that leadership isn’t about holding a position , it’s about

actions and influence. True leaders inspire and guide others, even without

formal authority.

🔹 The Power of Choice and Confidence

Success isn’t just about talent, it’s about making intentional choices and

building confidence. Kevin noted that many people hold themselves back due to

fear or imposter syndrome, but growth comes when you choose to act despite

uncertainty.

🔹 Influence Over Control

In work and life, you can't control everything, but you can influence outcomes.

Kevin encouraged focusing on what you can

influence rather than getting stuck on what you can't.

🔹 Building Genuine Connections

Social media can make people more isolated. Kevin and Beverly discussed the

importance of face-to-face interactions, networking, and volunteering to

broaden perspectives and opportunities.

🔹 Navigating Change and Work-Life Balance

Work-life "balance" looks different for everyone. Kevin shared that

it’s not about finding a perfect split, it’s about making intentional choices

that work for you, your team, and your lifestyle.

🔹 Resilience in a Shifting Work Environment

The workplace is forever changed post-pandemic. Flexibility, adaptability, and

open communication between employers and employees are essential to thrive in

today’s "new normal."

🔹 Resources for Growth

Kevin also introduced his new book Flexible

Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence and offered a

free masterclass on building personal and team confidence.

ask, and embrace the opportunities ahead.
