In this episode…

It can be all too easy for leaders to get tunnel vision inside their companies. With constant pressure and demands, their focus zeros in on the numbers, leaving room for little else. A lot can get lost in the mix, from mental health to employee satisfaction to the long-term performance of the business. 

According to Sylvia Rohde-Liebenau, a successful coach and leadership expert, improving as a leader comes from self-awareness and a priority for stress management. Sylvia has worked for the European Investment Bank and the European Commission, accumulating over 25 years of leadership development experience. She has witnessed the lasting effects of burnout, stress, and ineffective communication, and she made it her mission to guide passionate leaders to increase their impact with joy and ease.

Dov Pollack invites Sylvia Rohde-Liebenau, the former Managerial Advisor of Leadership Development and Coaching at the European Investment Bank, on the podcast to learn about her unique approach to leadership coaching. She explains her techniques for centering yourself and improving communication. She also dives into her philosophy on embodying your emotions and how that translates into performance.
