Tweets

“I love the word trust and what that means. And to me, when I think about the word credibility, I’m going to say credibility is the quality in which you are trusted, known, and liked.” Trust and credibility with Mitchell Levy on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast. 

“You can’t be a servant leader to others unless you at least properly serve yourself. You can’t be credible to others unless you’re credible to yourself. The servant leader who only gives and never receives, that’s not a good way to live life either.” Mitchell Levy on servant leadership on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“If you care about somebody, if you truly see them, you find a way where they can see where they really want to go, not just where they say they want to go, but where they really want to go.” Being a caring leader with Mitchell Levy on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“It’s not about having an ego. It’s about having a very strong self-concept. And that’s difference. The strong self-concept is I know who I am, warts and all. I’ve got great self-awareness. I know what I can do and I know what I can do right from a skills perspective. And it gives perspective.” Having a strong self-concept with Vanessa Vershaw on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“How could you afford not to be anybody other than yourself? And that’s really the lessons that I roll through, through my own experiences.” Vanessa Vershaw on embracing her true self on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“We’re actually creating an organisation where it’s not a team of people, but it’s almost a tribe of people where we are connected deeply through purpose and belonging and why compassion is really important. It’s because a compassionate organisation is the one that’s able to achieve collective resilience.” Having compassion as a leader with Vanessa Vershaw on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.
