Emergence. Leading from the Field — Episode 6: "The Power of Willing" In episode 6 of Emergence: Leading from the Field, host Artemis Evangelidi introduces the heart and soul of the podcast — authentic conversations with courageous leaders shaping a more conscious and connected world. In this inspiring episode, Marie Soprovich reflects on her journey from running a successful renovation company to stepping into a new phase of purpose-driven leadership. She shares the powerful daily question she asks herself: "Who do I need to be today?"—a prompt that guides her in showing up with intention for her clients, her community, and herself. Marie speaks to the deep value of connection, mentorship, and the legacy of leadership, emphasizing the importance of helping others bridge the gap between their dreams and the steps to get there. She also explores the transformative power of willingness—a central theme in her coaching practice and a concept rooted in her studies of A Course in Miracles. Through the lens of feminine, holistic leadership, Marie invites us into a gentler but no less powerful way of creating change. Whether it’s being a connector, a supporter, or a mama bear, she shows how strength and softness can coexist to lead with impact and grace. 🎙️ Tune in, be inspired, and begin your own emergence.
