In this episode, Leigh shares how she, as a senior leader in a fast-paced analytical job in the public sector, leads authentically by following her intuition instead of data when making decisions. She has found balance during long work days by prioritizing herself and her personal relationships and is constantly assessing if what she is doing is aligned with her priorities and goals. Her leadership style is unconventional in her line of work, but those she leads trust her as they have seen her decisions pan out time and again. She encourages the clients she works with, many of whom are left-brained and analytical, to follow her lead and trust what feels right to them when making decisions instead of overthinking.
