How Self-Leadership Builds Trust, Presence, and Stronger Teams | Regina Huber

What if the way you lead others is limited by how well you lead yourself?

In this episode of Executive Connect, Melissa Aarskaug sits down with Regina Huber, transformational leadership coach, speaker, and author of Living My Freaking Amazing Life, to discuss why self-leadership is the foundation of sustainable leadership.

Drawing from a career shaped by multiple continents, cultures, and leadership environments, Regina explains why authenticity, presence, mindset, emotional awareness, and connection matter just as much as strategy. She shares why leaders can only perform a role for so long before teams sense the disconnect between their words and how they actually show up.

The conversation also covers limiting beliefs, executive presence, trust, high-stakes communication, and Regina’s New Paradigm Leadership framework built around mind, heart, trust, and message.

For leaders who want stronger teams, greater influence, and a more authentic way to lead, Regina’s message is simple: lasting leadership starts with the inner work.
