In this episode, Kevin talks with Claire Brumby about why leaders need to "forget normal" and embrace a more human and intuitive approach to leadership. Claire introduces her MAGIC framework—mindset, awakening, gumption, intuition, and charisma. She explains how each element helps leaders reconnect with who they are, challenge limiting beliefs, take meaningful action, listen to their inner wisdom, and show up with authentic confidence. Kevin and Claire discuss why mindset is the foundation for growth, how self-compassion helps leaders better understand others, and why intuition is not "woo-woo" but a practical leadership advantage when paired with strategy.
