I’m Julie Hyde, a leadership coach, speaker, two time author, and podcast host on a mission to help leaders like you turn constant juggling & overwhelm into intentional, empowered leadership.
Growing up, I wanted to make an impact. Starting in corporate leadership, I dedicated myself to pushing teams to new heights. Over the years, I led large-scale transformations, helping businesses triple in size and guiding struggling leaders to become star performers.
But, driven by a deeper purpose, I eventually stepped away from corporate life to build my own leadership coaching business. It was a leap of faith and one of the best decisions I ever made. Since then, I’ve met incredible people and grown through some of life’s biggest challenges. I’ve weathered the GFC, navigated a global pandemic, and faced entrepreneurial hurdles that pushed me to limits I never thought possible.

In this episode of Leading You, I dive into the one mindset shift that can transform your career, leadership, and personal growth.
Inspired by a recent conversation with a client who questioned her leadership potential, I unpack how language, behaviour, and choice shape the way we lead—regardless of title or position.
So often, we wait for permission. We let past experiences or external opinions dictate our potential. But true leadership begins when we choose to see ourselves as leaders and start acting accordingly.
What we cover in this episode:
The power of language—how your words shape your leadership identity
Why behaviour speaks louder than titles—leading through action
How taking control of your responses puts you in the driver’s seat
The impact of limiting beliefs—and how to rewrite your own leadership story
Real-life examples of leaders who stepped up before they had the title
If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re a leader or hesitated to step into your full potential, this episode is for you.
🎧 Listen now and start making that critical mindset shift today.
