self-leadershiptrustresilienceclarityinner trustalignmentvaluesperformanceinner work
In today’s solo episode, I’m diving into a foundational yet often overlooked concept: self-leadership - and more specifically, the quiet discipline it requires.
This isn’t the leadership that shows up in boardrooms or performance reviews. This is the kind of leadership that happens behind the scenes, when no one’s watching and no one is handing out gold stars.
It’s the invisible work that builds trust, resilience, and clarity - and it's the foundation for leading others well.
🧠 What You’ll Learn:
What self-leadership really means beyond the buzzword
Why the hardest leadership moments are often the ones no one sees
How your private decisions shape your public impact
The subtle signs you may be out of alignment with your values
A simple practice to build inner trust and consistency over time
✨ Reflection Question:
What's one small act of self-leadership you can choose today - even if no one sees it but you?
Let’s Continue the Conversation:
If this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear what your version of quiet self-leadership looks like. Tag me on LinkedIn or Instagram and share your thoughts, or send me a message - I always love connecting with leaders who are doing the deep inner work.

Did you attend Workhuman Live 2025? The conference’s theme this year put the spotlight on the fusion of AI and human intelligence. At its core, the event highlighted how artificial intelligence can be a partner in enhancing human decision-making, not a substitute for it.
In this episode of the Inspirational Leadership Podcast, I invite Jackye Clayton to discuss each of our individual experiences at this year’s Workhuman conference. Jackye is a strategic voice at the intersection of HR technology, AI, and talent innovation.

Known for her dynamic presence as a LinkedIn influencer, sought-after speaker, and Associate Editor at HR Gazette, Jackye’s approach blends bold insights with authentic connection, empowering leaders to drive strategic, sustainable change in the workplace.
Listen in to learn how AI should support strategy, not suppress humanity, and that modern workplaces must balance tech advancement with emotional intelligence and collaboration. You will also learn about the themes of conscious leadership, psychological safety, and the critical need to move beyond the outdated zero-sum game mindset in organizations.
Key Takeaways:
The importance of intentional AI use and employee experimentation.
The role of data ethics, aggregation, and accurate storytelling in HR.
Why there’s a reinforcement that AI should serve people, not replace purpose-driven work.
Why authentic human interaction, like appreciation and check-ins, is the true face of leadership.
Understanding the challenges of creating real change in DEI work.
The complexity of microcultures within organizations and how shifting company culture requires addressing these layers.
How the Workhuman conference experience fosters deep community and belonging.
The importance of expanding recognition beyond the workplace to family and other support systems.
