In this part 2 of Ryan's conversation with Hannah Bauer, the CEO and founder of Heartnomics, they discuss the intersection of leadership and heart. The conversations continues exploring how personal experiences shape leadership styles. Hannah shares her journey from facing health challenges to creating a coaching program that emphasizes the importance of emotional intelligence, psychological safety, and the need for alignment between personal values and organizational goals. The conversation highlights the significance of kindness, communication, and the role of service in effective leadership, as well as the challenges faced by the next generation of leaders.

The real reason “communication” is often a symptom…not the root problem

• How leaders rebuild trust after missteps…earning the right to lead change
• Psychological safety…what it looks like when it is real…questions, honesty, engagement…and healthy conflict
• Getting buy in across levels…sponsor…champion…ownership…project charter thinking
• Leadership myths Hannah dismantles…one leadership style…fear of “being too close” to the team
• The next generation gives her hope because of boldness…and the responsibility of mentorship

Key moments and themes

• “Everything is awesome” culture as a red flag…when leaders cannot tell the truth upward
• Roundtables as a practical intervention…not a feel good exercise
• Tool belt leadership…different leadership behaviors for different moments
• “Know your people”…not once a year…but by walking the room
