Episode 11

Are you pushing people to perform—or pulling them into their potential?

Most leaders were taught to lead by pressure:

Demand more. Set the bar. Get frustrated when others fall short.

That may get short-term results—but it drains energy and destroys trust.

✅ Push leadership activates fear and burnout

✅ Pull leadership inspires through presence, trust, and emotional safety

When you lead from a regulated, grounded state—people feel it.

They want to follow you.

Not because they have to. But because they’re drawn to your clarity and calm.

What kind of leader do you want to be—one people follow out of fear or inspiration?
