In this episode, host Shawn FitzGerald chats with leadership facilitator Steve Vaught to explore how meaningful relationships, safe spaces, and intentional communication create lasting impact in leadership.
Steve shares why he regularly sends curated articles to peers—not as a strategy, but as a way to show care, spark conversation, and deepen connection. He also opens up about the importance of creating trusted environments where mid-level managers can talk openly, get support, and work through real challenges without fear or judgment.
Listen to hear Steve and Shawn discuss what it takes to build trust over time, how to lead with empathy, and why overcoming fear with curiosity is essential for personal and team growth. You’ll also hear how peer group techniques—like agenda-setting, open challenges, and shared accountability—can transform how your internal teams connect and communicate.
Whether you’re leading a team or facilitating growth in others, this episode offers practical takeaways for anyone who wants to lead with more empathy, build stronger trust, and create space for intentional change—one honest conversation at a time.
