Leadership isn’t built through authority, strategy, or performance alone. It’s built from the inside out.
In this episode of the HR L&D Podcast, Nick Day is joined by Andrea Lynn, intuitive mindset coach and host of Wake Up Your Soul, for a deep conversation on what truly makes great leaders.
Drawing from Andrea’s life-altering health experiences and years of coaching leaders, the discussion explores how mindset, intuition, and self-awareness shape resilient, human-centered leadership. They unpack why emotional ownership matters more than control, how silence and reflection improve decision-making, and why values-led leadership creates stronger connection, trust, and fulfillment at work.
This episode is for HR and L&D leaders who want to lead with clarity, empathy, and conviction, without burning out or losing themselves in the process.
