“I think we all have resilience. If we have gone through and worked through overcoming obstacles and challenges, that’s where you build your resilience, like it’s your ability to go through those things.” Julie Hyde talks about developing resilience on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“I believe to be a good leader, you do need to be able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and understand where they’re coming from or be curious as to where they’re coming from. So you might ask questions rather than just hitting them between the eyes because they’re not performing or their behavior is really bad or don’t show up to work or whatever that might be. But it’s leading from a heart space as well and understanding that the people that you are leading are not the process, the policy, the system. They’re a human being.” How to be a human and heart-centered leader with Julie Hyde on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“I think I believe it comes back to, you know, a mindset and to every person taking responsibility for their for their life, for their health. And there’s a practice I talk about in my book, which you’ll be familiar with, which is the power of the pause. And it’s just, you know, pressing the pause button on your life and just reflecting on what is happening right now.” Julie Hyde talks about the power of the pause on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
