She Leads Collective Podcast: stories, allyship and confidence tools for women

What if the very thing we’ve been told to leave at the door—our emotions—is actually the most powerful leadership tool we have?

In this episode of the She Leads Collective Podcast, I’m joined by executive coach, facilitator, and author Steph Tranter. Together, we explore why emotions are still treated as “undiscussable” in many organisations, what happens when they’re ignored, and how leaders can create cultures where people feel safe to bring their whole selves—feelings and all.

Steph shares her journey from the checkouts at Tesco to coaching Olympic teams, her passion for helping leaders build resilience and emotional intelligence, and why understanding our emotions is essential not only for wellbeing but for performance.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too emotional” or trained yourself to stay stoic, this conversation offers a powerful reframe: emotions are data, wisdom, and energy that can transform the way we lead.
