  • The 3 C's of Kind Leadership: Courage, Compassion, and Clarity Revealed with guest Dr. Laura Ciel

    The 3 C's of Kind Leadership: Courage, Compassion, and Clarity Revealed with guest Dr. Laura Ciel
    Apr 29 2025
    In this episode of The Kind Leader Podcast, host Gino Degregori interviews Dr. Laura Ciel, a transformational mentor, psychologist, and guide for visionary leaders. With an impressive background including a master's and doctorate in clinical psychology and an MBA, Dr. Ciel has spent over 30 years researching what builds unwavering trust. Dr. Ciel shares her personal transformation journey, which began 23 years ago when her mother died suddenly. This pivotal moment shifted her perspective from an externally-focused, logical approach to leadership toward integrating deeper intuitive wisdom. Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes that effective leadership requires balancing logic with intuition, especially in today's chaotic world. The discussion explores Dr. Ciel's definition of kind leadership, which she describes as an integration of courage, compassion, and clarity that builds trust. She stresses that leaders must first care for themselves before they can effectively lead others, and that providing clarity (not necessarily certainty) reduces anxiety within teams during times of change. Dr. Ciel offers insights into the nature of intuition, distinguishing it from emotional reactions or gut feelings. She describes intuition as seeing beyond tangible aspects of situations, which is particularly valuable for entrepreneurs who create things that don't yet exist. The conversation also touches on finding one's purpose, which Dr. Ciel simplifies as showing up in the world as one's fullest, most authentic self. Looking ahead to leadership in the next 5-10 years, Dr. Ciel predicts some "crashing and burning" as old leadership models fail, while leaders who build internal foundations and embrace change will thrive. The episode concludes with rapid-fire questions where Dr. Ciel recommends books like "The Four Agreements" and "When Breath Becomes Air," and shares that she finds alignment through daily nature connection and meditation. 5 Valuable Quotes: "Being a kind leader means a really beautiful integration of courage, compassion, and clarity. And with that, it's the idea that it's not just your words as a leader that matter. It's how you show up. It's who you are." - Dr. Laura Ciel "One of the most unkind things leaders can do is create more confusion, more chaos in what's already a chaotic world." - Dr. Laura Ciel "For everyone who's searching for their purpose... think about this: How do you show up as you, fully you, so that I know you as a whole being? That's where the magic happens." - Dr. Laura Ciel "The people around you are missing out if you're not really going inward and you're not really taking the steps to grow and expand and build your trust in yourself." - Dr. Laura Ciel "Those who go inward and build the foundation now are going to be able to navigate [chaos] in a much more efficient, powerful way... There is such an incredible opportunity right now for leaders, for businesses, for organizations. Unfortunately, it does require change and it requires massive change." - Dr. Laura Ciel 5 Key Takeaways: The Three C's of Kind Leadership: Courage, compassion, and clarity form the foundation of kind leadership and build trust. Leaders need courage to look inward, compassion for themselves and others, and clarity about what is known and unknown. Intuition vs. Emotion: Intuition is different from emotional reactions. It's about seeing beyond tangible aspects of a situation rather than having strong emotional responses, which can be influenced by many external factors. Purpose Is Evolving: Your purpose isn't static but evolves throughout your life. At its core, purpose is about showing up fully as yourself and expressing your authentic being in whatever context you find yourself. Self-Leadership First: You cannot lead others effectively if you aren't caring for yourself. Self-care isn't selfish but essential for high-level leadership. Future Leadership Requires Internal Foundation: Leaders who will thrive in the next decade are those building internal foundations now, embracing change, and integrating both logical and intuitive aspects of leadership.
