Lead with Legacy™ - Michael StinNett

In our very first episode, Michael Stinnett joins host Amanda C. Chambers for a powerful conversation on leadership, personal flourishing, and what it truly means to leave a lasting impact on the people we lead.

Michael introduces the 5E Leadership Model, reframing evaluation as a collaborative and empowering process rather than a punitive one.
