Unlock the profound wisdom of a Disney mom and former Walt Disney Company retail leader, Valerie Cockerell, as she unveils the remarkable leadership lessons from motherhood and her career.

In a recent episode of the podcast "Beyond the Rut with Jerry Dugan," Jerry had an insightful conversation with Valerie Cockerell, a former Disney leader and author of the book Manage Like a Mother: Leadership Lessons Drawn from the Wisdom of Mom.

Valerie shared her experiences and wisdom gained from both her time at Disney and her journey as a mother. This post provides a summary of the episode, highlighting key takeaways and valuable leadership lessons.

In this episode, you will be able to:


Clear expectations are important in both personal and professional relationships
Raising children and leading a team requires flexibility and learning on the job
Each person is unique and requires different approaches to leading
Storytelling activates certain areas of the brain and creates emotional connections
Each person on a team plays an important role, like puzzle pieces fitting together


My special guest is Valerie Cockerell

I met Valerie through a good friend and bridge to the Cockerell family, Jody Maberry. She’s married to Dan Cockerell and daughter-in-law of Lee Cockerell, two Walt Disney Company executives we’ve had on Beyond the Rut in the past.

She is sharing how the connections she’s drawn from being a mother and the leadership principles she has taught in workshops around the world in the retail and customer service industries can help you boost your impact as a leader.
