This week on GoalChat, Debra Eckerling talks about Leadership with Marisa Wheeling Ciesluk, MWC Leadership; Monique Daigneault, MD Consulting; and Jess Dewell, Managing Partner, Operations + Strategy, Red Direction. 

The panel shares their thoughts on what leadership is, qualities of good and bad leaders, ways to develop leadership skills, and more. As Marisa said, leadership is not a title, it’s an action. And the skills of leadership are applicable no matter what your role or business.

What is Leadership?
– Jess: Making decisions, whether they starts with your heart, gut, or brain
– Monique: Being a healthy example
– Marissa: A process of radical self-inquiry

What Makes a Good Leader
– Marisa: Someone who has taken the time to spend in reflection
– Jess: Clear communication
– Monique: Empathy with boundaries

Goals 
– Jess: Take 10 days – 2 5-day weeks – and pick something to notice about yourself/what challenges are you facing; find the patterns and see what solutions you can try to create a different outcome
– Monique: Share a gap that you have with someone that you trust; it brings awareness and helps you figure out how to improve it
– Marisa: Develop a pause practice. Create time for rest, even if it’s only for a few minutes a day

Final Thoughts
– Monique: This conversation has been the definition of a supportive environment. Find your support system
– Marisa: Leadership is a human experience
– Jess: It’s risky to do these things – leadership and self reflection takes courage and boldness – it’s time to normalize these conversations
