Episode 266: Rewriting the Stories We Tell Ourselves: Lesson in Leadership with Meredith Gadoury

Lessons in Leadership

As leaders, we’re often hyper-focused on the stories we tell others—our team’s vision, our progress reports to stakeholders, or the strategic narrative we craft to inspire. Yet, as Meredith Gadoury, leadership coach in the tech industry, so insightfully pointed out in our recent conversation on the Lessons in Leadership podcast, there’s a more profound story we need to examine: the story we tell ourselves.

These self-narratives shape not only how we lead but also how we interact with challenges, opportunities, and the people around us. Meredith’s work centers on helping leaders shift from a managerial mindset to a leadership mindset, and her insights offered actionable takeaways for leaders at all levels.
