Today I'm chatting with Erin Leonty, founder and CEO of Leonty Consulting and the creator of Power to Care.

Erin spent 25 years in corporate leadership associating power with authority and command and control. Then a coach asked her where she felt power in her body, and she had no answer. What she built from that question is a leadership program grounded in neuroscience, one that treats care as a capability.

We get into what the program actually does. Why leaders grip for control when they feel none internally, what happens in the body under pressure, and how noticing and naming a felt sense starts to shift things. Erin really breaks it down in this conversation: notice the tension, name it, decide what to do with it. She's now taking this into boardrooms and to shareholders, making the case that command and control leadership is undermining business results, and she has the research to back it.

Leonty Consulting has been around for 10 years, but Erin talks about why she built Power to Care as a clear container after years of consulting.

Erin has a Power to Care session coming up this fall on September 10, offered virtually.
