"Corporate problems need human solutions." - Peace Ike
In this episode of the L3 Leadership Podcast, Doug Smith sits down with Peace Ike, a culture strategist, relational dynamics coach, conflict mediation specialist, and founder of Set The Table Strategies, to explore the leadership skills most of us were never taught: navigating conflict, building trust, reading the room, and communicating with wisdom and grace.
Peace shares how bringing strangers with different political beliefs together around a dinner table shaped her work helping organizations build healthier cultures. She introduces her BETTER Method for developing emotional intelligence, explains the gap between our intentions and our impact, and shows why lasting change starts with self-awareness rather than another box to check.
Doug and Peace also explore the resilience she learned from her Nigerian immigrant parents, the power of our words, and how losing her brother shaped her faith and calling. Whether you're leading a team, preparing for a hard conversation, or feeling called to start something new, this conversation will challenge you to lead with greater humility, courage, and dignity.
