Panic-Free Leadership: Calm Power, Clarity & Conscious Confidence with Elle Ingalls
In this episode of Breakthrough Conversations with Rhoda & Co., Rhoda sits down with peak-performance coach Elle Ingalls to explore how leaders move from reaction-based leadership to conscious, grounded leadership rooted in presence and self-regulation.
They discuss:
Why reactive leadership happens, and how to break the cycle
Tools for leading with calm, clarity, and confidence
Women’s leadership and the “over-responsibility” pattern
The nervous system’s role in emotional presence and decision-making
Practical techniques for stress-free high performance
How to replace urgency with intentionality and self-trust
Key Takeaway:
Calm is not passive, calm is power. Leaders don’t rise by doing more; they rise by grounding more deeply in who they are and how they show up.
