Together, they unpack: Why people (not metrics) drive results How middle managers shape culture every day What great bosses, teachers, and coaches have in common Why trust is the secret to unstoppable teams How to drop the armor and lead as your authentic self Why love belongs in leadership conversations Shaunna also shares insights from her new book, Leading With Heart, and why now, more than ever, we need leaders who create safety, belonging, and purpose at work. If you’ve ever felt “too soft” to lead… If you’ve worked under a toxic boss… If you want to build a culture people want to be part of… 👉 This conversation is for you. _____________________________ Connect with Shaunna on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaunnablack/ Want to build your authority and brand as a tech leader?
