Скачать или смотреть Christie Linebarger Journey to Leadership: Grit, Growth & Leading with Heart

In this inspiring episode of Beyond the Ledger, I sit down with Christie Linebarger, a 25-year talent acquisition and HR leader whose career has been shaped by grit, humility, and her faith-driven approach to leadership.

Christie opens up about her journey from being a manager who managed work to a leader who elevates people — and the mindset shift that changed everything. She also shares the story behind her new book, and how a layoff became the catalyst for rediscovering her voice, her purpose, and her mission to help others rise.

If you're wondering how to grow as a leader, build trust with your team, or break out of “manager mode,” this conversation breaks it all down with honesty, vulnerability, and decades of real-world experience.

🎧 Whether you're an HR leader, talent acquisition professional, people manager, or aspiring leader, you’ll walk away with practical wisdom you can apply immediately.

👉 Topics include:
• Manager vs. Leader: Why most people get it wrong
• How to elevate people instead of managing tasks
• The power of humility in leadership
• How to build trust that makes teams soar
• Sticking your beak in the ground — and why grit still wins
• The story behind Christie’s new book
• Knowing when to shift, pivot, or “dig in different dirt”
