What does leadership look like in real life—not just on paper? In this Leadership in Action quick consult, Brenda sits down with Carol Hurst, Brandon Hess, and Josh Vaisman to unpack what it truly takes to lead high-performing teams.

From balancing approachability with clear boundaries to using vulnerability and transparency to strengthen trust, this episode dives into the everyday leadership moments that matter most. The panel also explores psychological safety—why it’s essential, how leaders can encourage honest feedback and healthy disagreement, and what it means to turn the magnifying glass back on yourself as a leader.

If you’re committed to growing as a leader and creating a culture where teams feel safe, accountable, and empowered to speak up, this conversation is for you.
