Wendi Swanson: Leadership: It’s Not a Role, It’s a Relationship
About Wendi Swanson: Today’s guest is Wendi Swanson—a no-BS change catalyst who knows how to shake up stale leadership and unlock the potential hiding in plain sight. As the founder of The Etymon Group, Wendi brings her signature edge and heart-centered strategy to powerhouse brands around the globe. She doesn’t just lead transformation—she makes it stick, from the C-suite to the frontline. Wendi delivers keynotes, workshops, and executive leadership retreats around the world.
In this episode, Chabidaye and Wendi discuss:
Leadership is a choice, not a trait
Followership is the real measure
People over processes
Coaching unlocks potential
Key Takeaways:
True leadership isn’t innate—it’s developed through intentional growth, coaching, and a commitment to serving others.
If no one is following, you’re not leading. Leadership is about influence, not titles or authority.
Organizations often prioritize systems, but real success comes from investing in people, fostering connection, and supporting their growth.
From small personal gestures to embracing adversity, coaching is the key to unlocking a team’s motivation, innovation, and limitless potential.
"The measurement of leadership is followership." — Wendi Swanson
