In this episode, Shelley explores the difference between talking about change and actually making it happen. Through her leadership programs, she often hears what people should be doing - but when asked what they’re actually doing, the answers rarely align. Shelley invites listeners to consider one powerful question: “What’s the very first thing that needs to happen so all the other things can happen?” Drawing on the wisdom of stillness practices that have existed for centuries, she discusses how cultivating stillness of both the body and mind can lead to embodied decision-making and meaningful action. Sometimes, that first step is as simple as a walk in nature - allowing movement to quiet the mind and clarity to rise to the surface.Connect with Shelley: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/shelleyflett/⁠⁠Work with Shelley: ⁠⁠https://shelleyflett.com ⁠Shelley books: https://www.shelleyflett.com/shop

In today’s episode, Shelley speaks with Stephanie Chung, a history-making executive, leadership consultant, and author of Ally Leadership, about the art of leading people who are not like us. Stephanie helps leaders move from awareness to action, building teams where differences become a competitive advantage rather than a source of conflict. One of the greatest challenges in leadership is knowing how to inspire, understand and improve performance in people whose backgrounds, cultures, values, communication styles and motivations may differ from our own. What makes one person excel may cause another to disengage and bridging that gap requires more than good intention - it calls for curiosity and empathy. Join Shelley and Stephanie as they explore practical tools to connect, engage and empower every team member, no matter how diverse their experiences or perspectives.Grab a copy of Stephanie's book: https://stephaniechung.com/books/Connect with Stephanie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thestephaniechung/Connect with Shelley: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/shelleyflett/⁠⁠Work with Shelley: ⁠⁠https://shelleyflett.com ⁠Shelley books: https://www.shelleyflett.com/shop
