In our latest podcast episode, we had the privilege of sitting down with the insightful Rasie Bamigbade, founder of RB Jumpstart Coaching. This conversation delves deep into the power of self-leadership, emotional intelligence, and the journey of personal growth. Rasie shares valuable lessons from her experiences and offers actionable insights on how to lead yourself and others in a sustainable, authentic way. Whether you're a seasoned leader or just starting your journey, this episode is packed with wisdom to help you become more self-aware and impactful.
Here’s a glimpse of what we covered:
The Foundation of Self-Leadership: Rasie explains why self-leadership is at the heart of everything she does. She emphasizes that leadership starts with ourselves—our ability to manage emotions, navigate challenges, and show up authentically. Her personal journey serves as a testament to the power of this approach, inspiring others to look inward before leading outward. Lastly, Rasie reminds us that self-leadership is a journey, not a destination. It requires continuous learning, self-reflection, and a willingness to adapt. She encourages everyone to embrace this process, knowing that true leadership comes from an ongoing commitment to personal growth.
Leadership starts with leading ourselves. Before we can guide others, we need to manage our own emotions, challenges, and growth.– Rasie B.
The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Teamwork: One of the key aspects we touched on was how leaders can effectively manage their emotions and communicate transparently with their teams. Rasie highlighted how emotional awareness improves team dynamics and fosters trust, helping teams thrive even in high-pressure environments.
Emotional intelligence isn’t just about managing your own feelings; it's about creating an environment where your team feels safe to express theirs.– Rasie B.
Growth Through Feedback: Feedback can be uncomfortable, especially for leaders who are used to being the experts. Rasie shared her perspective on how to shift from resisting feedback to seeing it as an opportunity for growth. By being open to feedback, leaders can better understand their blind spots and evolve both professionally and personally.
Feedback is a mirror. It shows us our blind spots, and when we embrace it, we unlock the potential for true personal and professional growth." – Rasie B.
Handling Stress and Overwhelm in Leadership: During her time working in fast-paced environments like the Vancouver International Airport, Rasie observed how stress can significantly alter leadership behavior. She encouraged leaders to take a step back and reflect on how personal challenges affect their leadership style, reminding us that transparency and vulnerability can be powerful tools in building stronger, more cohesive teams.
Creating a Culture of Transparency: Rasie stressed the importance of open communication in leadership. When leaders are transparent about their personal state, it gives team members the space to step up and support one another. This not only strengthens the team but creates a culture of mutual respect and accountability.
This episode was a powerful reminder that the best leaders are those who lead from within. Rasie's wisdom and practical tips for self-leadership are invaluable in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing world. If you're looking to elevate your leadership skills and foster a more connected, high-performing team, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
