The Remarkable Leadership Podcast

How do you show up for work? For home? Anese Cavanaugh believes we have the choice of how we show up, so we have the power. She is the creator of the IEP Method® (Intentional Energetic Presence®), and author of CONTAGIOUS CULTURE: Show Up, Set the Tone, and Intentionally Create an Organization That Thrives. Anese and Kevin talk about the leadership assets that are as important if not more so than the "hard skills." These include intentions, energy, presence, self-care, and service mindset. When you have awareness of your leadership presence, you increase your credibility and the power to influence others. In this episode, Anese discusses 1. IEP Method®. 2. Why we are contagious. 3. Self-care.

Whether you care to admit it, you have struggled. Whether it be school, in a relationship, or professionally. It is these challenges we face and how we overcome them that define who we are and offer perspective. Kevin sits down with Bobby Herrera, co-founder and CEO of the Populus Group and author of The Gift of Struggle: Life-Changing Lessons About Leading. Bobby understands that struggle precedes our transformation. That still does not make the struggle any easier. Bobby and Kevin discuss how we reframe the way we think about struggle and use to help us lead. He shares stories from his leadership journey and challenges us to share our stories (regardless of our level) to give our team the why; to connect. Now you all can figure out the how together. In this episode, Bobby discusses: 1. Struggle. 2. Getting to the culture you want. 3. Importance of coaches and mentors. 4. A leader's role in development.
