8. Leading Through Presence: Why Great Leaders Stop Fixing and Start Listening

When someone comes to you in a struggle, do you rush to fix or pause to listen? In this solo episode, Lindsay Yellin explores why true leadership isn’t about solving faster; it’s about being present longer.

Through personal reflection (including an unexpected lesson from her golden retriever, Puddy), Lindsay unpacks how the instinct to “fix” often comes from our own discomfort—and how slowing down to truly listen creates space for trust, growth, and human connection.

She shares three foundational tools every leader can practice: listening with full presence, asking curious questions, and offering acknowledgment that makes people feel seen. These small shifts can transform how you lead, support, and show up for others—at work, at home, and within yourself.


This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and practice leadership rooted in empathy and awareness.


✨ Episode Highlights

  • What it really takes to create an empathetic, resilient workplace
  • Why leaders rush to “fix” as a form of self-soothing

  • The cost of constant solutions and how it erodes trust

  • Three core tools to practice presence: listening, curiosity, acknowledgment

  • How to build team autonomy by not giving every answer

5. The Hidden Cost of Always Saying Yes at Work with Josh Yellin

What happens when two siblings grow up under the same roof but take completely different paths to leadership?

In this episode of Unfiltered Leadership, Lindsay Yellin sits down with her brother, Josh Yellin, a senior Google leader and co-founder of Urban Rivers, for a candid conversation about how family, resilience, and burnout have shaped them into the leaders they are today.

They reflect on how growing up in a values-driven home and later losing their father instilled a shared commitment to kindness, humility, and hard work. Josh opens up about guiding expeditions in Alaska, leading global teams at Google, and learning to rebuild confidence through burnout. Together, they unpack how their journeys mirror each other’s: two different careers, one core truth that leadership starts with self-awareness and courage.

If you’ve ever wondered how your upbringing, relationships, and personal values influence the way you lead, this episode will remind you that growth doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s built through shared stories, grounded reflection, and the people who know you best.

🌿 Key Takeaways

  1. Confidence follows courage — real leadership begins when you take action before you feel ready.

  2. Creating space is a leadership strategy — rest and curiosity open the door to innovation and clarity.

  3. Sustainable success outperforms constant striving — true leaders reject burnout as a badge of honor.

  4. Kindness, honesty, and groundedness build lasting influence — values are your most powerful leadership tools.

  5. Personal rituals fuel presence — mindfulness, movement, and reflection help leaders stay centered under pressure.

  6. Legacy grows from integrity — relationships and trust last longer than any title or achievement.

  7. Adaptability defines the modern leader — mastering AI and emerging tools keeps you future-ready and human-centered.

4. What My Father Taught Me About Life and Leadership

I just got back from a family trip to Hawaii with my mom and two brothers. It was the first time in sixteen years that we’ve taken a trip together. No partners, no kids, just us four. The last time we traveled to this same place was right after my father, Norm Yellin, passed away.

This time felt different. We had space to slow down, to sit together without distractions, and to talk. In those quiet, honest conversations, we found ourselves reflecting on my dad, on who he was, how he led, and what we learned from watching him live and work.

In this episode, I share the three biggest leadership lessons my father taught me about legacy, integrity, humor, and the danger of working so hard that you forget to live. It’s a reminder that leadership isn’t just about what you build, but about how you show up while you’re building it.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Building a leadership legacy that lasts beyond your title

  • Why consistency in your values is the foundation of influence

  • How humor and joy can sustain great leadership

  • The hidden cost of overworking and burnout

  • Finding balance between ambition and health

  • What it really means to lead with purpose and integrity

    How to Lead Yourself When You Feel Lost with Ronnie Dickerson Stewart

    How do you lead yourself when you feel like you’ve lost yourself?

    In this first episode of Unfiltered Leadership, I sit down with my friend of 12 years, Ronnie Dickerson Stewart, award-winning executive leadership development expert, founder of OhHeyCoach, host of The Career Clinic Podcast, and soon-to-be published author. Ronnie was the reason I finally launched this podcast, so it felt only right that she join me for the very first conversation.

    Together we get real about what it means to navigate the “messy middle” of identity loss, whether it’s pregnancy, layoffs, new roles, or life transitions that leave you wondering: Who am I right now?

    ☕ You’ll hear us talk about:

    • Why have the last five years left so many professionals questioning their identity

    • My own story of pregnancy, sickness, and losing access to my normal coping mechanisms

    • Ronnie’s coaching tools for navigating new roles, layoffs, and major life moments

    • Why grief is an important (and often overlooked) part of career transitions

    • How to use values, self-compassion, and a test-and-learn mindset to find yourself again

    • Why surrender is sometimes the bravest leadership move you can make

    This conversation is raw, vulnerable, and full of practical wisdom for any leader facing change.
