Inspired by this year’s Out & Equal Workplace Summit, I share five powerful leadership shifts that surfaced while connecting with over 4,000 Fortune 500 leaders. We’ll discuss how to move from apathy to love, from anger to action, from fear to faith, from division to bridge, and from noise to awareness. Each shift comes with practical tools you can implement immediately, including the Big Brave Heart framework. Whether you're navigating team dynamics, personal relationships, or simply trying to show up with more heart, this episode offers both inspiration and actionable strategies for building courageous, heart-led leadership. Perfect for leaders, ERG members, and anyone committed to creating lasting change through self-awareness and brave action.
