EP 25: Navigating Leadership and Labels with Kimberley Hiebert

Welcome to a brand new episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast.

In this episode, I got to sit down with the incredible Kimberley Hiebert  as we had an amazing conversation all about the nuances of communication, leadership, and empowerment.

As a retired social worker with invaluable insights into human behavior, and now a multifaceted entrepreneur, Kim reflects on the importance of understanding communication and triggers—especially for leaders.

We share personal anecdotes illustrating how directness can impact others and discuss the responsibility that comes with guiding a team.

We don't shy away from tough topics like handling feedback, the significance of "living in cause," and setting boundaries through personal loss. It's a conversation that challenges perceptions, as we tackle the gendered undertones of being "bossy" and champion the idea of direct communication without misinterpretation. It's an episode you don't want to miss! 

Key Takeaways:

• The impact of leadership communication styles and the proper balance between being assertive and considerate.
• Encouraging narratives surrounding successful women who acknowledge their mistakes and prioritize personal growth.
• The significance of understanding different perspectives and reaction triggers in conflict.
