ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
For compassionate leaders who've quietly outgrown what used to work.
You're not in leadership for the title. You're in it to use your strengths to make a way for others to use theirs.
You've stopped waiting for a certainty that was never going to arrive. Now you're ready to lead with clarity and confidence, right in the middle of the uncertainty.
This show is for you if you're looking to:
✅ Find your footing again, instead of just pushing through the overwhelm
✅ Turn the people who follow you into leaders in their own right
✅ Lead in a way that sustains you, not one that wears you down
Hosted by Teri Schmidt, Executive Leadership Coach & CEO of Strong Leaders Serve.
Each episode supports leaders navigating the shift into roles where success isn't just about their own performance anymore. It's about leading through complexity, ambiguity, and stakes their old playbook never had to handle.
We name what's actually happening underneath the overwhelm, and find a way back to steady leadership, without pretending there's a five-step fix.
