Defining Leadership: What Makes A Great Leader?

The Full Frontal Living™ Podcast with Lisa Carpenter

Welcome to another episode of the Full Frontal Living Podcast, today in episode 283 we dive deep into what it really means to lead—starting with leading ourselves. Originally crafted for my Reclamation program, the lessons felt too vital not to share with everyone. So here we are, exploring the essence of self-leadership and personal empowerment together.

Join us as we uncover the power to choose and redefine leadership from the inside out. Remember, the finest leaders are those who lead themselves with integrity and compassion.

Key Topics Discussed:

Self-Leadership and Responsibility:

• Emphasizing the need for self-care, physical well-being, and mindfulness.
• The power of taking ownership over our thoughts, actions, and beliefs.
• The impact of having a supportive circle that uplifts and understands you.

Emotional Well-Being:

• Strategies like mindfulness, meditation, and journaling to maintain emotional health.
• The transformative effect of kind self-talk and shedding harsh self-judgments.

Congruence in Leadership:

• How aligning your internal values with external actions fosters authenticity.
• The pursuit of integrity in all areas of life, both personal and professional.

The Power of Choice:

• True leadership is about making decisions that resonate deeply with our true selves.
• Personal empowerment begins the moment we choose to trust and lead ourselves.

Community and Connection:
