GRACE under Pressure John Baldoni
GRACE under pressure is a LinkedIn Live Interview show that poses questions to thought leaders and doers whose ideas and actions are helping us come to a greater understanding of ourselves and the greater opportunities that await us.
GRACE under pressure is a show that reveals what is too often dismissed as the “soft stuff” – the caring, the connecting, and commitment we feel toward others.
GRACE under pressure provides insights into how leaders can show empathy in ways that bring people together for common cause, to achieve intended results, and to facilitate improved connections among colleagues.
Now more than ever we need one another. GRACE under pressure will be a means to explore what it means to be a fully human leader, one who seeks to make where we work a place where people can connect as colleagues and maybe even as friends.
