    About this Episode

    An excellent leader possesses many qualities, including strategic thinking, excellent communication skills, and the ability to motivate and inspire others. However, one often overlooked superpower that can set a leader apart from the rest is narrative intelligence. What is narrative intelligence, you might ask? In a nutshell, narrative intelligence is the ability to understand, craft, and communicate compelling stories that inspire and motivate others.

    In today's episode, I share what Narrative Intelligence is, how leaders and teams use it to meet goals, and why NI is the skill you - as an emerging leader - needs to reach new levels of success.

    Ep #59 Integrating Mind, Body, and Business: The Importance of Strategy and Energetics in Your Success

    Ep #59 Integrating Mind, Body, and Business: The Importance of Strategy and Energetics in Your Success

    In my fifteen years of working with and supporting business owners, I have seen firsthand the impact a holistic approach can have on their overall success. When entrepreneurs integrate their mind, body and business strategies, it catapults their revenue, impact and industry growth. Now, whether you call it energetics or mindset shifts or subconscious reprogramming the bottom line is this, you can have all the strategies in the world but if you aren’t simultaneously working on your innermost self at the same time, you’ll miss out on what’s ultimately possible for you.
