Title: What Happens When Love Enters the Boardroom (Part 2) Guest: Kelly Hall — Author of Love Works: Transforming the Workplace with Purpose and Authenticity Intro If Part 1 asked us to bring our whole selves to work, Part 2 asks: How? Kelly Hall returns to share how she learned to lead from love — through crisis, coaching, and experience. A former finance executive turned leadership expert, Kelly discovered that love and high performance aren't opposites — they're fuel for each other. Together, she and Mike explore the tools that turn emotion into insight, chaos into clarity, and leadership into a relationship worth following. What This Part Covers Emotional intelligence and the "second thought" that defines mature leadership. Why pausing for clarity leads to better decisions than rushing for control. The shift from "commander" to "coach" — and what that means in real life. How consent-based decision-making builds trust and buy-in. The science of love as energy — and why caring deeply drives performance. Highlights "Your first thought isn't a choice — but your second one is." "Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is pause." "Love is power, not weakness." "When leaders go last, people start to think for themselves." "Replace delegation with enrollment — don't assign work, invite ownership." Takeaways Lead last. Listen first. Create clarity by slowing down before speeding up. Turn reaction into reflection — pause before you decide. Empower others to make decisions, not just execute them. Redefine ego: use it to serve your people, not control them. Next Step for Listeners In your next meeting, go last. Let the room breathe. Listen without fixing — and notice what shifts when you trust the process more than the plan. Connect with Kelly Hall.
