What happens when you combine curiosity with courage? Leadership coach and author Elizabeth McCourt brings this powerful dynamic to our conversation about the future of leadership. From her base in New York, Elizabeth shares her philosophy that has guided her through multiple careers and athletic pursuits: "If I can do it, you can do it too."The magic in Elizabeth's approach lies in her relationship with discomfort. Rather than avoiding challenging situations, she embraces them as opportunities for growth and connection. "I love that energy of discomfort," she explains, describing how pushing boundaries has shaped her global perspective and leadership style. This refreshing take on personal development offers listeners a roadmap for their own growth journeys.Our discussion evolves into exploring the false dichotomy between competition and collaboration. Elizabeth brilliantly reframes competitive relationships: "I want you to do great, because there's room for both of us." This perspective mirrors what top athletes understand—that worthy competitors don't diminish your success but inspire greater achievement. We examine how this collaborative mindset applies to business challenges too complex for siloed approaches, and Elizabeth offers practical insights about generosity with knowledge and strategic relationship-building.The conversation culminates in recognizing that effective leadership isn't about gender but about balancing complementary energies. Elizabeth demonstrates this naturally through her ability to both connect deeply and push strategically. Her capacity to "see the whole room"—noticing multiple dynamics simultaneously—exemplifies the integrated leadership our complex world needs. Join us for this thought-provoking episode that will transform how you think about leadership, competition, and your own potential to make an impact.Listen to the Leadership Espresso Podcast:https://open.spotify.com/show/4OT3BYzDHMafETOMgFEor3 View the Leadership Espresso Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@Stefangoetz_Global_Leadership/videos Connect with Stefan Götz on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefangoetz/ Check out Stefan's Executive and Team Coachinghttps://www.stefan-goetz.com/
