Today, we're diving deep with Kathy Andrews, a leadership development guru based right here in the Pacific Northwest! Kathy brings a unique perspective to the world of leadership, infused with her South African roots and a deep emphasis on human connection.

In this chat Steph and Kathy explore Kathy's journey from South Africa to the beauty of North Vancouver, driven by a desire for safety and opportunity. But Kathy's story isn't just about physical relocation—it's about finding that sense of safety and belonging within herself and her community. They dive into the world of leadership development, and Kathy highlights a crucial point: it's not just about ticking boxes or attending events. True leadership development requires a holistic approach, one that fosters a common language and culture of respect and connection within organizations. Kathy challenges the traditional HR mindset, advocating for a more human-centric approach. She emphasizes the importance of leaders connecting with their teams on a deeper level, moving beyond surface-level conversations to truly understand and support each individual.

They also touch on the delicate balance between leadership and therapy, recognizing the need for boundaries while still creating space for authentic connection and support. and leading with empathy and compassion, while also staying focused on the task at hand. Kathy shares her personal strategies for staying grounded and healthy in both mind and body. From goal setting to meditation practices inspired by the likes of Dr. Joe Dispenza, Kathy prioritizes self-care as a cornerstone of effective leadership.

So, here's to leading with heart, embracing connection, and scoring goals—both on and off the field. Thanks for joining us on this journey, and until next time, keep "uncorking" those possibilities!
