  • Shotcast S5 Ep2: Counterintuitive Strength

    Is your instinct to jump in and solve the problem for others?

    In this episode of Slingshot25's Shotcast, leadership and change experts Jackie Pelland and Courtney Smock explore the counterintuitive nature of true leadership strength. It's not about fixing problems or shutting down complaints—real strength lies in listening, acknowledging, and creating space for emotions, even when they feel uncomfortable.

    They explore why resisting the urge to judge or solve immediately can lead to deeper connections and better outcomes and how seemingly "weak" actions like empathy, validation, and even apologizing are signs of true leadership power.
