    #224 How Do YOU Lead Best?

    Today Cindy interviews Dale Turnbull, a long-time leadership coach and trainer who founded "The Seven Positions of Leadership." They discuss building leadership skills from a place of intention and authenticity rather than thinking you must change who you are to be a good leader. Turnbull explains how ineffective leadership stalls growth in companies and how to uncover your best as a leader. Dale Turnbull is a leadership coach and creator of The 7 Positions of Leadership™, a practical model that helps leaders understand how they’re truly showing up and expand their flexibility to build stronger, more successful teams. With more than 12 years of experience inside midsized organizations, he’s coached over 800 people and directly managed 300, giving him a front‑row seat to the real challenges leaders face.Early in his career, Dale realised that people don’t always apply what they’re taught, a discovery that led him to study NLP and redesign his training to match how people actually learn. That shift accelerated growth, improved performance, and shaped the foundation of his work today.Through his company, Lead Adapt Impact, Dale helps leaders communicate more effectively, motivate their teams, and create lasting success. If you’re a leader struggling to get your message heard or you want a grounded, real‑world approach to leadership, this conversation will hit home.
