What separates great leaders from everyone else when pressure is at its highest?
In this episode of BEST IN CLASS, Leon Lloyd and Martin Hall sit down with Marie De Meyer - advocate, mediator and keynote speaker, to explore the leadership skills that matter most when emotions run high.
Having spent decades resolving conflict in high-pressure environments, Marie shares why self-awareness, emotional intelligence and the ability to respond rather than react are the foundations of exceptional leadership.
But this conversation goes far beyond conflict resolution.
It's about confidence, resilience, authenticity, and rebuilding yourself when life doesn't go to plan. Marie explains why confidence isn't something you're born with, but something you develop through action, discipline and self-awareness.
The result is a powerful discussion about leadership, communication and personal growth that challenges the way we think about influence and success.
