Passionate About Positive Leadership! With Chartered Coaching Psychologist, Cornelia Lucey

Positive Leadership vs. Traditional Leadership. Have you ever wondered why some leaders give off a great vibe and lead in a positive way, while others somehow fall short but you can’t quite put your finger on it? Cornelia Lucey was so fascinated by this difference during her first career as journalist and teacher, then into executive leadership, that she has gone on to study not only what makes these differences, but how we all can learn from them.

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s inside:

Stress on the Nervous System – Silver Linings
Cornelia Lucey explains how the trials we endure are not just obstacles, but opportunities that forge resilience in us. This episode reveals the strength often hidden in traumatic experiences, illustrating how they prepare us for leadership roles in unexpected ways.

Emotional Agility in Leadership
Learn to navigate your emotions and those around you with grace — Cornelia introduced the “A.L.I.G.H.T.” mnemonic to help remember this essential skill. Adjusting our emotional responses, according to Cornelia, isn’t just useful; it’s crucial for positive leadership.

The Power of Safe Connections
Stressed about work atmosphere? You’re not alone. Cornelia and I discussed the importance of creating relationships that foster trust and safety—key ingredients for both personal well-being and team productivity.

Resilience: Not Just a Buzzword
Building resilience is often a slow and quite tough process during which you just think you are dealing with struggles. It is often only afterwards that you get a chance to reflect back and realise you had been bouncing back all along. We dived deep into how resilience acts as a backbone of effective leadership, especially during challenging times.

Leaders, Look After Yourselves!
Cornelia and I couldn’t stress enough the importance of self-care for leaders. Often overlooked, self-care directly influences how leaders perform and react during stressful situations. Remember, leading by example includes how you treat yourself.

P.S. What is a Refreshing Leader?

Remember, when we talk about #RefreshingLeaders, we’re not just talking about those in traditional leadership positions. We’re talking about leaders in all areas of life – in our communities, in our families, in groups. What defines a refreshing leader is something deeper, something that transcends titles and roles. It’s about embodying qualities that bring about positive change while inspiring others to do the same. And it starts with you.
