We've been taught to lead with logic, suppress emotion, and control the narrative. But what if that’s exactly what’s keeping us stuck?

In this episode of Leading Through Change, Melissa challenges the outdated belief that emotion has no place in the boardroom. She explores how emotionality—when understood, named, and strategically integrated—becomes a powerful leadership tool.

You’ll learn:

• Why emotion is not the enemy, it's simply energy in motion

• How low-frequency emotions like anger and grief can become catalysts for connection

• What “meeting people in their emotionality” really looks like in practice

Plus, a powerful drop-in practice to help you build emotional capacity in your body, not just your mind.

This isn’t soft leadership. It’s strategic. It’s embodied. It’s visionary.
