Becky Schmooke — Author, Keynote Speaker, Founder of Becky’s Mindful Kitchen, and Stoic Edge Consulting, which is focused on providing action-based mindfulness and leadership training to organizations and individuals who are ready to do things differently. Is leadership really just for the powerful and polished? Not according to Becky Smooke. In this personal and inspiring conversation, Becky joins me to unpack her philosophy that leadership is a choice, not a job title. From leading summer camps and parenting teenagers to training NFL rookies and recovering from a long-running eating disorder, Becky reveals how the right handle can change everything. (You will like it when you understand! I did!) Together, they explore the power of intentional vulnerability, the myth of authority-based leadership, and how to own your story—especially the messy parts. Becky also walks John through her STOA method, a straightforward yet transformative framework for reflection, goal-setting, and leadership growth.
