    Why Faith and Vulnerability Make Better Leaders ( ft. Nichole Lowe)

    Leadership is often seen as setting visions and managing resources, but it’s so much more than that. In this episode of The Lunch Break Coach, Nichole Lowe joins me to uncover what it truly means to lead with faith and as a human-centric leader. Spoiler alert: it’s not an easy road—but it’s one of the most impactful journeys a leader can take. True leadership goes beyond being a “boss.” It’s about stepping into the trenches with your team, experiencing what they experience, and building authentic connections. It’s about showing up with empathy, vulnerability, and a commitment to doing life together within a business structure. Great leadership is about leading with presence, grounded in faith, and showing up as a fellow human. Together, Nichole and I explore the real purpose of coaching in leadership, how corporate cultures can thrive with a coaching mindset, and the trends shaping the future of coaching in 2025. Nichole also shares her powerful advice on cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset and how faith can serve as a guiding principle in leadership. If you’re ready to rethink leadership and discover how to lead with heart and faith, tune in now! More about Nichole and Zoee: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nichole-lowe-zoee/
