What if the way you’re trying to lead is actually the thing holding people back? In this episode, I’m challenging a leadership instinct most of us don’t even realize we have—the need to step in, solve, fix, and prove we know what we’re doing. It feels helpful in the moment… but it might be quietly capping the potential of the people around you. We’re talking about the difference between being the genius in the room and being the one who creates genius. Because the leaders who make the biggest impact aren’t the ones with all the answers—they’re the ones who know how to draw it out of others. If you’ve ever found yourself jumping in too quickly, filling the silence, or carrying more than you should, this one will hit. And it might just change the way you show up with your kids, your clients, your team—and honestly, anyone in your life.
