Episode 39: The surprising connection between parenting and leadership: discussion with Sharon Lim

Your team isn’t your family, but if you’re leading both, you likely have more skills you can interchange between both situations than you realize.

In this conversation, Leadership and Team Coach Sharon Lim shares how two decades of guiding executives shaped how she raised her three teenaged sons, and what it taught her about trust, boundaries, and letting go.

We explore why leadership isn’t separate from who you are as an individual, and how your skills at work might be some of the best parenting tools you didn’t know you had.

💡 How parenting frameworks map onto leadership styles.

🧭 Why structure with flexibility usually beats command-and-control.

🙋‍♀️ What happens when working mums start applying leadership tools at home.

🧘‍♀️ And for mums, why self-care might be your most important leadership move yet.
