Summary:
What if the future of leadership isn't about climbing—but about connection?

In this season finale, Renelle sits down with Bea Sonnendecker, founder of SuiteC, and Chelle Johnson, executive coach and talent strategist, to explore the shifting inner and outer landscapes of the C-Suite. Both have lived the corporate grind, led executive searches, and now stand at the edge of something new—offering spaces where leaders can be real, resourced, and in relationship.

Episode Takeaways:
Together, they unpack what today’s executives actually need:

➤ Why traditional executive search and networking models no longer serve the evolving needs of today’s leaders

➤ How trauma, grief, and burnout shape leadership journeys—and why acknowledging them creates more resilient leaders

➤ Why the next evolution of leadership depends on connection to self and others

➤ What makes someone truly “trustworthy” at the top

This episode marks the close of Season 1—a season about exploring the shift. In Season 2, we transition to teaching it.
