077: Discovering Your Why: How Clarifying Your Vision Can Transform Your Organization and Create a Bigger Impact

Impact Makers

Leadership is not just about the title or how many people you have under you. Many great leaders are fueled by their WHY. And so, it’s important, as leaders, to discover our WHY to ensure effective leadership. I’m excited to share a conversation with you today with someone who really understands what it means for leaders to create an impact at work and in life!

Sonya Shelton is the Founder of Executive Leadership Consulting. She’s passionate about partnering with leaders and high achievers to create a clear vision, so they can build work environments where employees are fulfilled and completely committed to the organization’s success.

Having been an executive, as well as an international speaker and consultant, Sonya knows how to tap into lesser-known, hidden practices that drive true leadership. She has captured many of her leadership tips and success stories in her bestselling book “You’re an Executive, But Are You a Leader?”

Sonya believes that people with passion make any company better – in every way, and her WHY is to contribute to the success of leaders in order to create a bigger impact. Today, she shares a ton of great insights as well as some practical action steps we can take as leaders to craft a compelling vision, and successfully lead our teams and organizations in the future.
