Nate Leslie hosts our Leading With Curiosity podcast, talking potential with leaders from a range of fields.
Are you ready to have bigger impact? Command and Control Leadership is Dead. Join our modern leadership movement. We interview leaders, entrepreneurs, and Certified Executive Coaches challenging old paradigms. The brain behaves very differently when ‘invited to think’ rather than ‘told to listen’. Hosted by Nate Leslie – Certified Executive Coach (PCC, CEC, M.Ed.) and former professional athlete.
”Our guest today is the antidote to the boring corporate presentation. She has spent her career on stages, in recording booths, and behind the scenes of global events—including a stint with the Eurovision Song Contest. Now, she takes all that performance magic and applies it to the world of high-stakes business through her 'Be Less Vanilla, More Thriller' philosophy. She specializes in 'people skills for geeks,' helping senior leaders and technical teams ditch the 'jelly legs,' master the 'Drama Triangle,' and speak so that people actually listen. Please welcome, Frankie Kemp.”
