In this podcast, Michelle shares how to be an effective leader, focus on self awareness.

3 ideas to increase your self awareness:

1. Ask ‘What?’ Not ‘Why?’

• ‘Why do I feel this way?’ leads to overthinking. Instead, ask ‘What am I feeling?’ and ‘What patterns keep showing up?’

2. Seek ‘Loving Critics’

• Find 2-3 people who will be honest but kind and ask for feedback

3. Practice ‘Pre-Mortems’

• Before a big decision, imagine it failed. Ask: ‘What could I have overlooked?’ This surfaces blind spots before they become setbacks."

In this podcast, Michelle shares how to lead with compassion, you need to first be compassionate to yourself. 

What a self compassionate leader looks like:

• Set boundaries without guilt (‘Brave self-compassion’ means saying no!).
• Motivate through encouragement, not fear.
• Build trust because they’re not pretending to be perfect.
