In this powerful and heartfelt episode, Shannon Missimer sits down with Kim Napolitano, Senior Sales Executive at Hilton Worldwide Sales and 2024 Smart Meetings Visionary Award recipient. With over three decades at Hilton, Kim brings a wealth of experience in leadership, strategy, and culture—and a deep passion for conscious leadership.

✨ The importance of leading with empathy, especially for today’s evolving workforce (hello, Gen Z 👋).
✨ Groundbreaking research on how people-first leadership impacts bottom-line business results.
✨ How gratitude, presence, and intentional breathing are the secret tools behind strong, centered leaders.
✨ Why letting go (with grace) can be one of the most empowering forms of leadership.
