Better At Work with Cathal Quinlan The Five Principles of Better Leadership with Amy Jen Su
In episode 7 of this Better@Work episode, we have an engaging chat on better leadership with the super smart and warm Amy Jen Su. We work through the five essential principles for bringing out your best-self every day. Amy understands busy leaders and entrepreneurs want to improve, however they don’t want to be overwhelmed at the prospect of doing more in order to be a successful and effective leader.
We love Amy’s book, The Leader You Want to Be: Five Essential Principles to Bringing Out Your Best Self – Every Day (2019). The book reveals five key leadership elements – Purpose, Process, People, Presence, and Peace – we can use to increase our capacity, energy, and impact, with less stress and more calm. In our chat, Amy unpack all the principles and shares how we can tap into and expand our leadership capacity in order to be at our best.
Amy is managing partner and co-founder of Paravis Partners, an executive training and coaching firm. She is a frequently sought-after executive coach and speaker on issues of leadership presence, communications excellence, and executive endurance--factors critical to a leader's performance success. She has a proven track record helping senior leaders clearly articulate their personal and organisational vision, maintain their personal best amid change and complexity, and be a compelling communicator with all stakeholders.
This chat with Amy is fun and full of practical tips which will teach you how to tap into and expand your leadership capacity so that you can be your best, sustain yourself, and thrive as a leader.
