Please, Regina, tell me about your vision.
My vision.
Thank you so much for asking me, Peyton.
I'm hoping I'm pronouncing your name correctly now.
Yes, so my vision is to inspire leaders
to lead themselves and others from the heart,
and to be bold and find the courage to stand up
for what's right, because I think we need more of that
in the world.
So we need leaders that are in service of those they lead
and of values like freedom, which is my top, top, top value,
and values like co-creation, even when this means sometimes
swimming against the mainstream.
And I believe that living this vision will also
help them find greater meaning and fulfillment
through their leadership, whatever
their specific setting is.
So this is my vision, because everything I do
is in the service of freedom.
And so is my new podcast as well,
which is called Rise to Lead.
Where your vision came from.
What sparked this, this sense of freedom
and helping everybody else to become free?
Well, yes.
I was put into a leadership role at the age of 27
when I had no relevant background.
Somebody saw that potential in me.
And this basically catapulted me into the leadership realm.
In a way.
And later, I was also a business owner in Argentina and Brazil.
So the first time I was put into a leadership role, that
was at the Boston Consulting Group in Madrid.
I had just moved to Spain.
I just learned the language.
So that was really, really a surprise factor for me
at the time.
But then there was no more stopping me
in terms of thinking about leadership, figuring it all
out.
And of course, also learning some hard skills
that are related to leadership, as well as
some of the basic soft skills, such as communication.
But there was more to it.
And I have been doing a lot of thinking
ever since I started on this path
in my many different capacities now
also as a transformational leadership coach.
This also, of course, brought a lot of other leaders
toward me.
And I've been observing their leadership
and trying to figure out what makes the most sense
in the different settings.
So for example, if you're a team leader in corporate,
if you are a business owner, what
is the common denominator of what
I consider great leadership?
And that's also how my Rise to Lead podcast came to life.
What your goals are, where you're going with this.
What is the end goal?
Do you get to x amount of dollars,
or is there any sort of goal in the future that you see?
Well, first of all, content-wise,
I like to inspire people to make what I call a leader shift.
And what that means is that as you shift yourself first
and your leadership of self first,
you shift your life and your leadership of others.
And consequently, you also shift your impact,
you level it up, and hence the word leader shift.
And how that comes about is by the use
of the content of my frameworks.
I have given a lot of thought to those frameworks.
And one of them is more focused really
on that leadership of self.
It's called the Powerful Leadership Transformation.
All those frameworks are on my website.
There's a dedicated page for frameworks on there.
And then there's also the New Paradigm Leadership,
which I have put together so that leaders can find it
a bit easier to build more engaged and happier teams.
And that one has four elements.
And they are really, really crucial for any leader,
in my humble opinion.
The first is mind.
And it's, of course, about mindset.
Because your mindset impacts everything you do.
It impacts your vision and how big it can be.
We talked about vision earlier, right?
Determines.
Yeah, it determines what your mind can envision for yourself,
your team, your project, your company, whatever it is.
And your mindset determines your level of drive and enthusiasm,
the degree of perseverance, resilience
that you can showcase in the game of leadership.
And then, of course, the second component is message.
This is about all the different ways in which we communicate.
It's not just about words.
Because whether we speak or not, messages are always conveyed.
They're always transmitted.
Even silence has its own vocabulary, as I like to say.
And of course, yes, the right words matter.
That's also why I have added conversational intelligence
to my practice.
But it's not the only thing.
And I think what we talk too little about sometimes
in communication is energy, actually.
However, our energy flows into everything we think, we say,
and we do.
And it also is a factor in whether we get our message
across as leaders or not.
And then the third ties into communication
and into everything, really, again.
And it is trust.
Because trust is really the glue that bonds teams together.
But trust is so critical in any relationship.
So in our careers, if we're not able to build trust,
then we will not be able to advance or to grow.
And if, as business owners, we cannot build trust
with our clients, our customers, then we will not sell anything.
So super important.
And then the fourth element is heart.
And that has multiple meanings, actually.
It stands, on the one hand, for the people in an organization,
because people are the heart of the organization
and should always be.
And they should be treated as such.
And on the other hand, it stands for what I call heart set.
So mindset and heart set.
Because we humans, first of all, we
connect with each other through our hearts, which we often just
don't think about.
We connect through that electromagnetic field
that our hearts emanate, which is actually
1,000 times stronger than the magnetic field of the head
brain.
So our hearts, also, and this is very important for leaders
and especially for bold leadership,
that's where we find courage.
Right?
And the heart is where we find answers
to our toughest questions, questions that sometimes we
cannot answer with pure logic.
Because when we connect with our heart, we find intuition.
We find compassion.
We find love, passion for the work we do
and for the people we work with.
So these are the four elements of it.
