Control vs. Influence in Change Leadership | Summer Miller

In this episode of Leadership Matters, Summer Miller, an educator and advisor focused on people-centered change, joins host Kaylee Thomsen to explore what it really means to lead people through change well. Summer shares a hard-earned lesson about the difference between control and influence, why emotional connection is the piece most leaders overlook, and how asking better questions helped her understand what change truly represents to the people living through it. She also reflects on parenting through the same lens, the value of co-creating solutions instead of handing them down, and why vulnerability builds the trust real growth requires. If you believe change leadership starts with understanding people, this one is for you.
