Ep.124: Managing Conflict, Leading Change; the Intersection of Leadership & Parenting w/Marcus Higgs

What's the best way to create a culture of autonomy, empowerment, and independence among the people that you lead?

My guest today is Marcus Aurelius Higgs. He is a communication coach who works with parents of pre-teen age kids. He helps to help them to show up better, maintain a meaningful relationship with their children and this may sound like a bit of a departure from the topic of leadership... BUT if you think about those three words - autonomy, empowerment, independence - and the underlying importance of communication and relationships, suddenly the connection is more obvious!

We'll be covering a lot of deep topics in this episode, and some surprising but enjoyable tangents! Marcus has also been a teacher, an author, and has lived and worked in several countries, bringing a uniquely earned perspective on the big questions of leadership. His love of words and launguage are on clear display throughout and I especially enjoyed picking apart the meaning of the word integrity together!
