Trailer - The Truth About Leadership They Never Taught You | Judy Micale

The best leaders don’t just manage. They guide.

This week on MarketPulse: Pros and Pioneers, we’re joined by Judy Micale—a coach, speaker, and leader of leaders. With decades of experience across corporate, coaching, and youth mentorship, Judy brings a fresh and deeply human perspective on what leadership looks like today.

You’ll hear how her corporate exit led to a profound career shift, why she believes coaching is essential in leadership development, and how small shifts in behaviour ripple through entire organisations.

Key insights:

• Why most leaders misunderstand burnout—and how to fix it.
• The link between compassion, performance, and retention.
• How personal branding goes far beyond your social feed.

New episode drops Wednesday 6th August at 3pm UK time.
