In Part 1 of Episode 5 of The Genuine Leader Podcast, Patti Feeney and Lisa Leary welcome a very special guest—Patti’s father, Pat Howley. A lifelong facilitator of personal growth and development, Pat brings a wealth of insight into what it means to be a mindful leader. Together, they explore the transformative power of self-awareness, the journey from knowledge of self to true awareness, and the role of inner work in leadership. Through compelling metaphors—like dancing with our inner parts—Pat offers a fresh perspective on how leaders can embrace their full selves, navigate challenges with emotional intelligence, and create spaces of trust and psychological safety. From embracing feedback to recognizing the dance between ego and authenticity, this conversation is both thought-provoking and deeply personal. Stay tuned for Part 2 as they continue to unravel the essence of genuine leadership.
