The Leadership Skills We Were Never Taught

The Leadership Skills We Were Never Taught

What if the biggest gap in leadership today isn’t strategy, but self-awareness?

In Part 1 of this 3-part series, Tara and Karen sit down with Merry Graham, who has spent over 30 years working with leaders around the world to explore a powerful idea: that emotional and spiritual intelligence are missing from how we develop leaders.

Together, they unpack what it means to lead as a whole human being and why individual dysregulation can ripple outward into teams, organizations, and even society.

This conversation explores:

  • What “whole-person leadership” actually means
  • Why emotional intelligence (EQ) and self-regulation matter more than ever
  • The hidden ways leaders become dysregulated
  • How self-trust, not control, is the foundation of real leadership
  • What visionary leaders understand that most systems overlook

If you’ve ever felt like leadership requires more than what you were taught, this episode will help you begin to see what’s been missing and what becomes possible when you develop the skills to lead from within.
