Vision, Empathy, and the Power of a Daily Reset with Cynthia Rodriguez, EdD

What if the difference between scattered leadership and breakthrough clarity took just five minutes?

In this conversation, Cynthia shares her father's counterintuitive approach to treating everyone from CEOs to janitors the same—and how that philosophy shaped her leadership style. She reveals why schools are facing a teacher crisis as technology races ahead, and what that tells us about leading through any industry transformation.

The real question: Can dedicating just five minutes each day completely reset how you approach challenges, relationships, and opportunities? Cynthia says yes and explains exactly how to make it work.

Tune in to discover the one practice that creates clarity, strengthens leadership presence, and helps you tackle change with a calm, focused mind...plus why Sheila's committing to making this her new daily ritual.
