The Beyond Leadership Podcast
72 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 2 years ago -“This is how we do it because this is how it’s always been done.”
Anyone else ever heard those words and thought that, in order to be successful, you had to fit that mold… even if it made you feel kinda skeezy? NOT ANYMORE.
Join me, your host Sara Mae Czepczynski, as I use lessons I've learned from 15 years of leadership experience to help YOU break through the B.S. of everyone else’s expectations so you can lead as your authentic self. Along with sharing my own hard-earned experiences, I'll bring regular interviews with some incredible leaders from across industries who will share their secrets with you so you can toss those antiquated leadership expectations to the curb and do it better your way.
We’re going to go BEYOND LEADERSHIP to discover how you can learn, lead, and encourage those in your circle and on your team so you can get more team cohesion, more innovation, and more peace of mind when you lay your head down at night.
For more leadership tips and a community of like-minded and like-hearted individuals in between episodes, join our amazing Beyond Leadership Facebook Community or reach out directly to me on Instagram @saramaeski and let me know your takeaways!
Until the next episode drops... LET'S GO!
