Fri May 09 2025
Season 2 continues with Dr. Erin Wilson—speaker, author, and CEO of Design Ideal Consulting. Erin is on a mission to transform the way leaders and teams thrive by integrating relationship intelligence, strategic rest, and intentional leadership.
In this episode, we talk about how Erin discovered her passion for helping people lead and collaborate more effectively—and how tuning into her own strengths played a major role in that journey. We explore how identifying your strengths can not only shape your leadership style, but also serve as a powerful tool for discerning your calling and career direction.
We also dive into what it means to lead with clarity, why rest is a strategic advantage, and how relational tools like Core Strengths, DiSC, and The Five Behaviors can revolutionize the way teams communicate and grow together. Erin shares what she’s learned from over a decade of designing transformative team-building experiences—and why sustainable leadership begins with self-awareness and rest.
