326: Courageous Self Leadership with Cherie Canning

Tina Tower welcomes leadership expert Cherie Canning (Luminate Leadership, Lead with Courage podcast) and shares how they first connected through social media and met in person at Christine Cochran's event. Cherie explains how her dad's coaching and her school leadership roles shaped her early view of leadership, then how being made redundant from Flight Centre during COVID pushed her into starting her own business despite never planning to be an entrepreneur. She describes her runway planning, building a workshop-and-speaking-centered business model, adding a podcast to build trust, and the mindset shift of pricing and selling "you." The conversation focuses on self-leadership, human-centered leadership as connection (within, with others, and with awe), sustainable success through planned breaks and intentional energy deposits, and Cherie's current goals of higher revenue/profit and more stage speaking, including her Ignite Women in Leadership conference on 13 November. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 00:49 Consistency on Social Media 02:00 Meet Cherie Canning 03:39 Early Leadership Roots 05:03 Redundancy to Reinvention 06:31 Taking the Entrepreneur Leap 11:16 Building Luminate Model 13:50 Self Leadership Without Boss 18:13 Human Centered Leadership 21:48 Can Leadership Be Learned 22:42 Nature vs Nurture Skills 24:16 Rewiring People Pleasing 25:59 Two Wolves Mindset 28:25 Sustainable Success Systems 32:43 Building Personal Brand 37:23 Social Media Boundaries 39:12 Defining Success Season 41:12 Ignite Conference Details 43:15 Closing Thanks Get the Free DEFINE AND ALIGN Values online course from Cherie >>
