EP 108: The Human Side of Leadership – Building Relationships that Last
In this episode of the Coffee Break Podcast, I sit down with the ever-inspiring Dr. Joy Parchment, Assistant Professor at the University of Central Florida College of Nursing and one of the most respected nurse leaders I know.
Joy and I talk about what it really takes to develop capable executive leaders — the kind who not only drive outcomes but also build strong, trusting relationships with their teams. We unpack the difference between “command and control” leadership and relational leadership, how to handle conflict with curiosity, and why self-awareness is the foundation for leading well.
This is an honest, heart-centered conversation about leadership, humanity, and the power of relationships. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to have all the answers or struggled to stay calm in the storm, this episode will remind you that the best leaders don’t lead from perfection — they lead from awareness and authenticity.
