WomenWhoBuildEmpires

I am so excited to have this conversation with Sarah Noll Wilson, who is on a mission to help leaders build and rebuild teams. Sarah has 15 years extensive experience in talent and leadership development, the CEO (Chief Edge Officer) of her coaching and consulting firm and soon to be author.

Sarah shares how being empathetic and allowing our "human-ness" to come through when managing a team is frequently the missing link that helps team members feel more valued and perform at a high level.

Enjoy listening!

HIGHLIGHTS

• What was Sarah's inspiration to become what she's doing right now? (...What is her background, what was her journey like?)
• What should the perspective of leaders be in relation to the humans they serve?
• The separation of emotions in the workplace, or should they be really separated?
• What was the experience like for Sarah in building her business? (... the financial consideration she has to weigh in and so much more)
• What were the challenges like and how has it affected Sarah's leadership?
• Self-care is important to mitigate burnout.
• Leadership is more about action - the concept of adaptive leadership in order to thrive in challenging environments.
• Consistent things that you can do to keep you performing at a high level.
• Women should give permission to give themselves self-care and not be biased on the male perspective on mental health.
• Sarah's words of wisdom for people who find themselves struggling.

Being vulnerable is scary but being in that place is the best place to be because that's where growth really happens. Just like singing in front of the audience, you become vulnerable to all the criticisms and very much like coaching, you are open to such. There is fear, but by opening yourself up and showing your whole authentic self, from a place of love and compassion, you can lead people to see their own worth.

In this episode, our guest is a concert curator & lyric coloratura soprano, but also one of the most sought-after high-performance consultants in the nation. She is Stephanie Ann Ball and she will share with us her journey and how she is able to marry the two careers together and function at an optimum level.

Enjoy listening!

HIGHLIGHTS

• How Stephanie Ball ended up being an opera singer despite her love for pop and jazz?
• What is the day like for an opera singer to be able to give a beautiful performance? (...what kind of fine tuning does she do?)
• Singing and coaching are related as both functions need to be very good at the craft and at marketing yourself.
• How to set yourself for success and stop the overwhelm from gaining momentum?
• Being vulnerable is scary and is difficult, but learning to handle it well gives incredible power.
• How does making decisions based on being vulnerable grow your business? (... and how can it affect leadership styles?)
• What are the benefits of hiring an artist as a coach and why creativity plays an important factor with it?
• The inspiration for writing the book, " Own Your Light: Becoming Your Favorite Self So You Can Give Your Best to the World".

This episode embodies what The Tribe of Leaders podcast is all about - empowering women into assuming more leadership roles. Now is the time for women to speak up, step up, break through, and redefine what society has always told them was true about their capabilities.

Andrea Simon, known to many as just Andi, is the author of "On The Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Business to New Heights" and has another book coming up in January 2021, "Rethink: Smashing the Myths of Women in Business". She is also the founder and CEO of Simon Associates Management Consultants. As a corporate anthropologist, Andi and her team help companies find the gaps and unmet needs between their clients and their business processes so they can better serve their clients.

HIGHLIGHTS:

• Learn about Andi's interesting journey on how she became a corporate anthropologist and what exactly corporate anthropology is?
• How can women start playing into the male-dominated world and emerge into higher leadership roles?
• About the book, "Rethink: Smashing the Myths of Women in Business", (... a compilation of stories of 11 women who are doing dramatically fascinating things and didn't believe the myth that they can't)
• What are the patterns common in women who say that they CAN? (What allowed them to do it?)
• Why are some women not able to push through judgments that they cannot do it and why are some of them able to get through and get to the next stage?
• How women are showing great leadership in the time of the pandemic, what are they doing differently? (Like the women leaders of Germany and New Zealand)
• A look at Andi Simon's podcast, "On the Brink"
