Episode 12 — Depth, Not Just Development: The New Journey of Leadership Growth

Leadership development is everywhere — and yet, many leaders quietly confess: “Something’s still missing.”

In this episode, Giovanna D’Alessio explores the untold side of leadership growth — not the horizontal climb of skills and certifications, but the vertical descent into identity, meaning, and maturity.

We meet Lara, a capable leader who has ticked every developmental box… but feels emotionally undernourished. Her question, “Who am I becoming as a leader?” opens the door to a deeper journey — one that many professionals feel but rarely name.

This episode invites coaches, HR partners, and organisational leaders to pause the race for performance, and consider a more radical question:

What if the future of leadership isn’t faster — but deeper?

Tune in to explore the spiral path of growth, and why true transformation always begins within.
