What if I told you that the most successful leaders are often the ones people fear most? In this raw and revealing episode of Leadership Presence, I pull back the curtain on how early childhood experiences and attachment styles create unconscious behavior patterns that can turn brilliant executives into emotional time bombs. Through the gripping story of "Derek" - a charismatic leader whose childhood wounds turned boardroom meetings into minefields - you'll discover why your body keeps the score of every unhealed experience and how these invisible patterns are sabotaging your leadership authenticity.

This isn't your typical leadership advice - this is the deep, transformative inner work that separates reactive managers from truly impactful leaders who build trust through vulnerability and emotional mastery.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Learn how to identify the unconscious behavior patterns from your childhood that are creating leadership limitations and damaging team dynamics
• Discover the 5-step process for recognizing emotional triggers and transforming survival-based reactions into conscious leadership choices
• Uncover why micromanagement, delegation challenges, and hyper-independence often stem from early attachment styles and how to rewire these patterns for grounded leadership

This deep dive into the unconscious patterns that shape our leadership is just the beginning of your inner work journey. When you start recognizing these old wounds and survival strategies, you create space for the kind of grounded leadership that transforms not just your own experience, but the entire culture around you.

What childhood patterns might be quietly running your leadership show, and how different could your impact be once you bring them into conscious awareness?

You're a seasoned executive who's weathered countless storms, made million-dollar decisions under pressure, and built your reputation on steady leadership presence. But mention that upcoming keynote, and suddenly you're that terrified kid in third grade again, voice barely above a whisper, palms sweating at the thought of all those eyes on you.

Your voice is either your greatest leadership asset or your biggest liability. And most leaders have no idea which one theirs is.

My guest Jimmy Cannon has spent over a decade cracking the code on why accomplished executives still struggle with performance anxiety and what to do about it. He's not just a voice coach—he's a behavioral therapist who understands that managing leadership anxiety starts with understanding the deep connection between your nervous system and your vocal cords.

What Jimmy reveals in our conversation will change how you think about executive presence forever. We're talking about somatic techniques that immediately calm your system, voice training exercises that build natural authority, and why the way you breathe before speaking can make or break your leadership self confidence.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Learn the three-part breathing technique that instantly signals your nervous system to relax and transforms your speaking presence in under 30 seconds
• Discover how to access your "chest voice" for natural executive presence that commands respect without trying too hard
• Uncover the connection between your physical voice and leadership self confidence that most coaching executive leadership programs completely miss

What's one speaking situation that still makes your heart race, even though you've mastered so many other aspects of leadership? If today's conversation resonated with you, I'd love to continue this dialogue—connect with me on LinkedIn where I share more insights on the inner work of leadership that creates lasting impact.
