Authentic Ewe You Can’t Just Do Leadership with Debbie Nicol
In this episode of The Authentic Ewe Podcast, I sit down with Debbie Nicol — one of the world’s most recognised experts in The Leadership Challenge.
Deb shares a powerful truth most leaders forget:
You can’t just do leadership. You have to be a leader people want to follow.
We explore:
• What separates “doing leadership” from being a leader
• Why credibility and consistency matter more than tactics
• How the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership work in real life
• The link between DISC behaviour and leadership effectiveness
• Why executive presence is misunderstood — and how Deb reframes it through Presence Pro
• How disconnection shows up in workplaces, and what real leaders do differently
• The behavioural shifts that turn managers into trusted, influential leaders
This conversation is grounded, practical and deeply human — a must-listen for leaders who want their influence to actually land.
