Welcome to Episode 113!!

Have you ever noticed how a single well-crafted question can completely transform a conversation? In this eye-opening episode, business development and leadership coach Carol Boston reveals the transformative power of empowering questions and how they can revolutionize your leadership approach.

For emerging leaders, mastering empowering questions creates psychological safety, fosters innovation, and helps team members feel genuinely heard and valued. Questions like "How would the leader I want to become handle this situation?" or "What one thing could I say differently so this person feels heard?" can transform your leadership effectiveness overnight.

Carol shares her journey from tennis pro to sales expert to leadership coach, highlighting pivotal moments where trusting someone else's vision for her became life-changing. Along the way, she discovered the remarkable impact that empowering questions can have on breaking through limitations and opening doors to possibilities we can't see when trapped in our own perspective.
