Ep. 62 - “Leading with Love” w/ Fabian Stone

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this week’s episode, Christopher Gomez and Fabian Stone discuss leading with LOVE and getting results from uncomfortable conversations. Fabian shared his experience of overcoming backlash and racism in the healthcare sector, and how he was able to lead his team to greatness with LOVE – Listening, observing, validation, and execution.

Fabian’s leadership methodology demonstrates how by building trust and clarity, as well as finding a common ground based on respect, we can overcome impatience and fear, and achieve results from seemingly unbearable conversations between people with different beliefs.
