Nate Leslie
Leading with Curiosity. A Podcast for Modern Leaders.
It's time to have bigger and better impact. Command and Control Leadership is Dead. We interview leaders, entrepreneurs, and Certified Executive Coaches challenging old paradigms and fostering cutting-edge leadership. The brain behaves very differently when 'encouraged to think' rather than 'told to listen'. Hosted by Nate Leslie - Certified Executive Coach (PCC, CEC, M.Ed.) and former professional athlete.
