Discover the transformative power of self-aware leadership and emotional intelligence with our special guest, Lisa Nordquist, a certified health and wellness coach. Lisa shares her personal journey from struggling with self-care to fully embracing holistic wellness practices.

The conversation extends to adaptable leadership styles and the importance of maintaining self-awareness and thoughtful responses. Additionally, we address effective coaching techniques for different generations, the necessity of social and relational intelligence amidst technological advancements, and the ongoing journey towards self-awareness in leadership.
