What if leadership wasn’t about having the answers – but holding the right space for the right questions?
In this episode of Getting Under the Skin, Topaz sits down with strategist, leadership coach, and catalyst for change David Lancefield (he/him), whose work helps leaders expand their thinking, embrace discomfort, and step into deeper impact without losing themselves in the process.
David shares:
– Why presence matters more than perfection in leadership
– How to balance ambition with genuine connection
– The hidden cost of avoiding difficult conversations
– Why curiosity is the ultimate leadership superpower
– How to create environments where people -and ideas- can thrive
This is a conversation about leading from the inside out. About slowing down to see more clearly, and realizing that growth is less about adding and more about uncovering.
What has life designed you for?
These conversations are not performative interviews, book release tours or productivity hacks.
Genuine curiosity is the compass for these honest, human-to-human exchanges of stories. We explore how people are formed by the lives they’ve lived and celebrate the wisdom gained along the way.
