What does it truly mean to lead with humility?
In this CEO Special Edition of Humans of Authenticity, Vy Le sits down with Alison Heron, CEO of the Association of Child Life Professionals, to unpack her guiding principle: humility.
For Alison, leadership is not about control. It’s about empathy, compassion, extending grace and empowering others to succeed. She shares a powerful moment when a staff member was struggling in their role. Instead of stepping in to fix the problem, Alison approached the situation with patience, recognizing that leadership is about meeting individuals where they are and supporting their unique needs. By extending grace and fostering relationships built on trust, she helped the team move forward with confidence and clarity.
3 key leadership lessons from Alison Heron:
- Humility is strength. Great leaders create space for others to grow.
- Empowerment. Leadership isn’t about micromanaging but enabling success.
- People-centered leadership. Treating individuals with care and understanding builds strong, thriving teams.
🎧Tune in now to hear Alison’s insights on leading with humility and creating lasting impact.
