Abby Veliquette is a seasoned coach and consultant based in Fort Collins, Colorado. She is the founder of Sequoia Leadership, where she specializes in helping organizations, teams, and individuals focus on both the "how" and "what" of work. With a lifetime interest in leadership, Abby holds a background in nonprofit leadership, organizational communication, and a PhD in organizational learning, performance, and change. For over a decade, she has dedicated herself to supporting leaders in their personal growth, with a recent focus on emotional and mental intelligence development.
Nick Armstrong converses with Abby Veliquette, an expert in leadership development, about the transformative power of emotional intelligence and self-regulation. The discussion navigates through Abby's approach to cultivating conscious leadership and her passion for guiding individuals towards better conflict management and enhanced team dynamics through Sequoia Leadership.
Abby's journey from an inherent interest in rallying people towards a goal, to studying nonprofit leadership and organizational development, sets the backdrop for her philosophy that how leaders do things is as crucial as what they do. She emphasizes the trend of leaders seeking growth in emotional and mental intelligence – a trend underpinning the need for personal and professional evolution amidst challenging times.
The conversation further delves into the practices of self-awareness and mindfulness, the physiological dimensions of stress responses, and strategies for fostering a more grounded and intentional presence in both personal and professional realms. Abby frames her work around building 'mental muscles' and, throughout the episode, offers a wealth of insights into how leaders can develop habits to navigate and mitigate self-sabotaging behaviors effectively.
