Lead Into It
Lead Into It is a leadership podcast for managers, emerging leaders, and professionals who are trying to figure out how to lead well without completely losing themselves in the process.
I'm Sara Greco: a leadership coach, Air Force leader, and someone who has spent a lot of time thinking (and probably overthinking) about what makes a good leader.
On the show, we talk about the real-life side of leadership: managing people, having difficult conversations, building confidence, setting boundaries, managing up, leading through change, and figuring out what the heck you're doing when you suddenly find yourself in charge.
Some episodes are conversations with people who have interesting stories and lessons to share about leadership, career growth, communication, and personal development. Others are just me, talking through a leadership lesson, a question I've been thinking about, or something I've learned the hard way.
If you're a new or mid-level manager, an emerging leader, or you're somewhere in your career thinking, “Okay...what's next?” you're in the right place.
I'm glad you're here. Grab your coffee and let's get into it.

6. Leadership and Self Awareness with Becky Heyse
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this week’s episode, I chat with an Air Force friend, Becky Heyse, who I met very early on in my career and continues to impress me with her leadership skills as well as her authenticity. Becky is a public affairs officer in the U.S. Air Force. During her 12-year career she has served in a variety of roles and locations around the world serving as an official spokesperson for senior leaders, leading teams of more than 20 people and serving as a mentor to Afghan government officials. She is currently a student at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island.
During our chat, we dive into her discovery of self awareness as a leader as well as learning how to focus on her strengths instead of trying to offset her weaknesses. This is a great episode for anyone trying to figure out how to learn more about themselves while leading a team.

PS: Also, there is a point in the episode where I completely mess up a quote! This is the quote I was trying to reference: Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. -Albert Einstein
