The Still Space Podcast

#55 Executive Coach Mary Lee Gannon is interviewed by former Nuclear Submarine Officer and president of Peak Demand Jon Rennie on leadership styles, executive presence, emotional intelligence, and advancing in your career. Much of leadership is understanding how to lead others. None of that works if we don’t know how to manage ourselves – our doubt, assumptions, expectations, temper, ego, disappointment, fears. In this episode we talk about my story and how I was able to get my first C-suite role. We discuss what to do when you feel stressed, how to manage yourself when you feel small within a group of talented peers, how to self-regulate fear when it becomes an interloper to strategic execution.

Values are the guiding principles that shape our lives and dictate how we treat others in our personal and professional circles. They help us determine the decisions we make, the actions we take, and the relationships we form. Values can be defined as beliefs, attitudes, or opinions that someone has about something. They can also be defined as the things that are important to someone and guide their behavior. Values are important because they provide a sense of direction and purpose in life. They help us to know what is right and wrong. Without values, we get lost and without direction. This happens when we are stuck. In this episode we explore how to get back to your values to feel fulfilled and position yourself at you best. When we have a clear set of values, we can more easily decide what is the right thing to do in any given situation. Values help us to know ourselves better and to live a more authentic life.
