Episode notes

In this week’s episode, we delve into the evolution of leadership from a rigid, old-school approach to one that embraces empathy, compassion, and authenticity. My conversation with Will Keiper, an accomplished author and thinker, uncovers the transformative power of being present and aware of one's own thoughts and emotions, and how these principles are crucial for effective leadership both in the business world and in personal realms.

Will Keiper is a celebrated author and leadership consultant with a rich background in transforming business dynamics through conscious leadership. Having been influenced by past mentors who valued financial success above all, Will experienced a profound shift toward a more compassionate and present-centric approach to leading others. His latest book, "Noticing," encapsulates his journey toward intentional living and the cultivation of a mindful presence within the ever-changing landscapes of modern work.

"The essence of leadership is the ability to move others to a higher place, and this can manifest in even the simplest of one-on-one interactions."- Will Keiper
