Leadership isn’t about having the loudest voice. It’s about the calm you bring when everything else feels loud. In a recent coaching session, I realized something tough: I tend to interrupt, overtalk, and carry emotions that aren’t mine. It’s something I’m working to change. As Leena Nair of Chanel says, “I want to listen to every voice around the table, not just the dominant ones.” And Marcus Aurelius reminds us, “You have power over your mind, not outside events.” Real leadership is steady. Intentional. Human. It’s not about control, it’s about presence. And it starts with self-awareness.
