Executive Connect Podcast features Kinga Vajda discussing how leaders can embrace disruption, build resilience, and foster emotional growth in their organizations. Listeners gain practical insights on navigating uncertainty, strengthening culture, and aligning long-term vision with people-first leadership.
Kinga reframes resilience as more than toughness - it’s about embracing discomfort, honoring trauma, and building systems that allow leaders and organizations to repair and adapt. With lessons on reprioritization, conscious decision-making, and trauma-informed leadership, she offers practical strategies for executives navigating rapid change.
Strong Takeaways from the Episode:
- Lead with empathy
Strong leaders don’t just hand out coping tips — they design trauma-informed systems that address root causes and create real support.
- From corporate to entrepreneur
I shared my own leap into the unknown: leaving corporate without a clear map. What helped? Curiosity, community, and building the right partnerships.
- Practical leadership in action
A coaching reality check:
Not every “solution” fits. Too many coaches push cookie-cutter programs. Real coaching is about co-creating - grounding in your vision, iterating, and designing a plan that actually works for you.
