Description
What if I told you that the key to unlocking even greater success isn't another strategy, but a raw, honest look at how you lead yourself and your team?
In this Uncommon Leadership episode, I'm joined by Natasha Sell, co-founder of Sutra.co.
Natasha's journey reveals that true leadership, especially for entrepreneurs, is a profound path of personal growth that demands your whole self.
We explore why ignoring this inner work can quietly hinder your venture, and how even a few minutes of stillness can pave the way to unparalleled clarity and engagement.
Discover how cultivating a heart-centered team culture, where vulnerability is a strength, directly translates to stronger retention, improved financial outcomes, and genuinely sustainable growth.
This conversation isn't just theory. It's about reclaiming the very essence of your leadership and connection.
If you're ready to bridge the gap between where you are and where you could be, this episode should be your next listen.

Your Key Lessons from the Episode:
- You need to integrate deep self-awareness and continuous personal growth. Knowing your "why" and staying inspired builds authentic, sustainable business relationships.
- The busier you get, the more you should slow down. Even 5 minutes of quiet observation can boost your efficiency.
- Build a heart-centered team. Focus on human-level check-ins, not just projects.
- Be confident and clear about your vision. Then, prototype everything: take tiny, feasible steps to gather real-world data. Reframe experiments as learning opportunities, not successes or failures.
- Support your employees' personal and professional development, even if it means they eventually leave the company. This attitude fosters deep trust and attracts even better talent in the long run.
