Episode notes
In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Langslow, an executive coach and leadership expert, to dig deep into the impact we have as leaders—both the intentional and the unintentional. Sarah went from competing in the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race to a stellar corporate career, and now she’s the author of Do Sweat the Small Stuff, a book that takes a close look at how our smallest actions as leaders can have the biggest impact. Join us as we uncover some eye-opening truths about the power of presence, intent, and those “micro-interactions” that often go unnoticed.
Key Takeaways Include:
- Intent vs. Impact: Sarah reveals why our intentions, no matter how good, often go astray. How can we make sure the message we think we’re sending is what others actually receive?
- Unintended Consequences of Being "Nice": What happens when kindness becomes a cover for discomfort? Sarah’s story of a moment gone wrong might make you rethink how you approach feedback.
- Navigating Power Dynamics: Sarah shares how power subtly affects every interaction—and how even the smallest misstep can amplify in unexpected ways. Are you tuned in to how power affects your team?
- Breaking Habitual Responses: What if your quick-fix solutions are doing more harm than good? Sarah offers a different way to engage that could change the way your team sees you.
