Soul Career with Lisandra Rickards

What if the habit you barely notice is the very thing holding your leadership back?

In this powerful episode of Soul Career®, Leadership Coach Felecia Williams dives into a leadership blind spot many professionals overlook — complaining — and how it quietly erodes credibility, trust, and influence in the workplace.

This episode isn’t about ignoring problems or “staying positive.”

It’s about learning how to shift from complaint to curiosity, and why that mindset shift is one of the most powerful leadership moves you can make.

💬 As Felecia explains, true leadership isn’t about pointing out what’s wrong — it’s about creating movement, momentum, and solutions.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

• Recognize when venting turns into a leadership blocker
• Understand how complaining impacts trust, credibility, and team morale
• Reframe frustration into curiosity and forward-thinking questions
• Lead conversations that move people from stuck to solutions
• Model a mindset that empowers your team to think like leaders

…this episode will challenge how you show up — and help you lead with more clarity, confidence, and impact.

This is leadership redefined: aware, curious, and forward-moving.

In this powerful episode, Soul Career® Founder Lisandra Rickards sits down with Beatriz De La Poza, the company’s COO and Lead Executive Coach, who recently went through one of the biggest transitions of her life: stepping away from her home, career, and comfort zone to follow her inner voice toward something completely new.

Beatriz opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of change, what it’s really like to lead while you're evolving, and how those vulnerable moments can make you a stronger, wiser, and more compassionate leader.

💬 As Beatriz shares in the episode, this transition has pushed her to lead from a more grounded, present, and aligned place, where vulnerability becomes strength.

This conversation is raw, honest, and full of wisdom for anyone who’s:

• In the middle of a personal or professional transition

• Questioning whether they can still lead when their foundation is shifting
• Ready to embrace the next version of themselves

In today's episode, we introduce the concept of attachment theory and discuss how your attachment style can impact your personal and professional life. 

My guest for this episode is Transformational Relationship Coach and Author Dr Gary Salyer. I first heard of Dr Salyer when he was interviewed in a podcast in 2019 promoting his book 'Safe To Love Again.' Which was my first introduction to attachment theory.   

Working with Dr Salyer has helped me be more attached to myself which acts as the operating system for how we move through our lives. 

I'm so excited to feature Dr Salyer in this episode. Here is a bit of what we cover:  

1. The definition of Attachment Theory 

2. How we develop our attachments and how they can impact us later in our lives. 

3. Whether we can change our attachment styles or not. 

4. Dr Salyer's journey toward becoming a relationship coach  

 And more....  

This is part one of a two-part series. Part one focuses on the impact that our attachment styles can have on our lives. Look out for part two where Dr Salyer discusses his journey to finding his soul career as a relationship coach.
