039: Elaine Jacques Will Always Defend You

<p>I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 39, Elaine Jacques explains one of her guiding principles, shares a story that inspired her to perform at her best, and advises us to ask questions that could build trust.</p> <p><strong>00:00 Prologue: Evidence-based Practice</strong></p> <p>Elaine is a Leadership Presence and Leadership Development Coach who has multiple certifications. I think that explaining that Elaine is a lifelong learner would be an understatement. Much of her training and knowledge is founded on evidence-based research in neuroscience, appreciative inquiry, and positive psychology (to name only three of her research areas).</p> <p><strong>01:41 Part 1: Taking Credit Is Insufficient</strong></p> <p>Taking credit for what you do well isn’t enough. Elaine explains what a professor said that has become one of Elaine’s guiding principles.</p> <p><strong>04:54 Part 2: Inspiring Others to be at Their Best</strong></p> <p>Elaine shares a story about Cheryl Joy, who supervised Elaine’s work as a speech language pathologist. Cheryl’s unique way in showing how she supported Elaine not only increased trust, her actions inspired Elaine to want to be at her best.</p> <p><strong>11:27 Part 3: Asking Questions Can Build Trust</strong></p> <p>With anyone who works with you, Elaine advises us to ask three questions. These questions encourage people to offer their feedback and insights into your performance.</p> <p>_________________________________</p> <p><strong>How You Can Support the Show</strong></p> <p>Unlabeled Leadership is a free service for people to learn about leadership.
