Refreshing Leadership

S2.14: Redefining Leadership Through Spirituality and Self-Discovery, with Fiona English, Speaker and Executive Coach

Kate Brassington Season 2 Episode 14

Fiona seems so fearless to me, as she navigates the intersection of human potential and spirituality. 

With candor, Fiona reflects on her own life journey, shedding light on the intrinsic value of recognizing the unknown as an opportunity and the personal sacrifices inherent in embarking on a path to true leadership. 

Her insights will provide us with a deeper understanding of how leadership is less about commanding others and more about understanding oneself.

Together, we'll get to the heart of what it means to be a leader today—discussing the importance of compatibility, the integrity in professional development, and the evolution from self-leadership to global influence.

Fiona's expertise leads us through the pivotal choices that shape a leader, the gradual process of transformation, and the challenges of staying true to one’s mission in times of uncertainty. It’s a conversation that promises to be as enlightening as it is empowering.
