What if the secret to stronger teams, better performance, and real engagement isn’t a new system—but a more human approach to leadership? In this powerful episode of the Build a Vibrant Culture Podcast, Nicole Greer sits down with Genevieve Retzlaff, a certified transformational coach and organizational development expert with a background as colorful as her insights—including a stint with Cirque du Soleil! Genevieve brings her passion for people and performance to the forefront as she breaks down what it means to lead with a human-centric mindset in today’s workplace.
Together, Nicole and Genevieve dive into why the traditional command-and-control model of leadership is outdated, and how the best leaders today are those who are self-aware, emotionally intelligent, and willing to adapt. Whether you’re a seasoned executive or a new team leader, this conversation will inspire you to pause, reflect, and take actionable steps toward leading with more heart, clarity, and vision.
