Message: “040 Empowering Women in the Workspace” from Tony Villafane

A message from the series "The Influence Experiment ." In the leadership world, we would love to think that “all things are equal” between men and women, but the fact of the matter is, it is not. For as long as we can remember, women have been wrestling to be seen as competent and qualified leaders. Women deal with the tension of needing to not be too timid and not being too intense in their leadership. Women deal with the gap between where men want them to lead and where they think they should lead. There are stigmas for a woman aspiring toward leadership that need to be addressed and kindly corrected. Women have operated in a male-leadership-driven culture, and we all need to take a moment to pause and see things from their perspective with empathy, compassion, and empowerment. To help us in this inquisitive and learning journey is Leadership Coach and author Kadi Cole!

Message: “039 Active Listening” from Tony Villafane

A message from the series "The Influence Experiment ." We all want to be leaders that are attentive to the heartbeat of our organization, team members, family members, friends, church etc. But if we are honest, it is really easy to pay more attention to our mind, thoughts, desires, plans over the thoughts, desires, plans of others. Deep down, we have a desire to show value, love, and worth to the people we lead or influence, but how do we do that well? Where does empathy play in? What are verbal and non-verbal active listening cues we can learn? What are techniques, tools, and tips we can implement? These are questions and luckily we have Counselor and listener extraordinaire Todd Henley
