Dr Yvonne Sum interviews Josephine Romano - Parent Coach extraordinaire - as a leadership role model as she discusses a leadership development structure whereby we can begin Modelling Leadership. We discover the calm understated leadership of Jo Romano who embodies her passion for purposeful living through her amazing pioneering journey in leading out on a variety of areas: adoption, life coaching - more specifically parent coaching, executive coaching with lawyers, substance abuse & domestic violence prevention - but to name a few.
Let me invite you to do this in preparation for the class:
1. Listen to my interview with Pamela Harper on the University of Master's homepage as we profile Pamela as a role model in leadership.
2. You are encouraged to visit Jo Romano's classroom page at the University of Masters to sample her recorded classes, if you have not done so already, so that you can have a taste of her inviting style even before you come on this call.
3. Download and read my article Modelling Intelligence under my Leadership Intelligence series.
Successful leadership in any context - career, business, wealth creation, intellectual, physical or spiritual pursuits, social network, love relationships, life - is not just about leadership styles, skills, capabilities and having the best environment: although that all helps. It has become evident that sustainable success as a leader is mostly about possessing a resourceful mind-set - beliefs, values, mental attitudes, identity, philosophy -that support us to get what we want or be who we desire, whilst engaging others to be a part of our vision. Well-planned customized leadership development through quality leadership training, and more recently leadership & executive coaching programs are becoming modalities of choice by which we can work in collaboration with experts like Dr Yvonne Sum to discover, develop and transform our leadership styles and skills.
