🎧 Ep. 150 The Human Side of Leadership: Building Lasting Impact with Dr. Mandolen Mull (Part 2)

In this powerful conclusion, Dr. Mull opens up about the profound shift from chasing external validation to finding true purpose through serving others. From transforming her LinkedIn presence into a storytelling sanctuary to helping ironworkers embrace vulnerability, she reveals how authentic leadership creates ripples of lasting change.

We dive deep into:
* The danger of using work as a maladaptive coping mechanism
* Transforming life's disruptions into opportunities for growth
* Breaking free from the "if-then" mentality of achievement
* The power of authentic storytelling in building community
* Addressing compassion fatigue in leadership
* Creating space for real, unedited conversations
* The importance of leaving a meaningful legacy
* Daily self-reflection and personal accountability

🔑 Key takeaways:
1. External validation is a moving target that can never truly fulfill us
2. True resilience comes from transforming challenges into "positive disruptors"
3. Authentic vulnerability creates deeper connections than professional facades
4. Leadership development must address the human side of leading
5. We must create space for messy, real conversations in professional settings
