How to Lead Well with Story with Anese Cavanaugh (#104)

Anese Cavanaugh is an author, a speaker, an entrepreneur, the creator of the IEP Method® (Intentional Energetic Presence®), a leadership and collaboration advisor, and a thinking partner for business leaders in many different industries. She’s not one to sit still either… she’s also a mom, a dog rescuer, a sister, daughter, friend, and an advocate for children’s food and spirit security. Here’s a quote from her website about section: “I love people. I love the human spirit. I love purpose. And I love what happens when we all Show Up together.” Anese founded her business and this body of work 20 years ago because she saw the essentialness of Showing Up, being present and intentional, and taking care of ourselves in relationship to healthy leadership and creating positive impact in the world. I’ve had the privilege of meeting Anese in person, as well as reading her newest book Contagious You. It’s a great read full of amazing information and inspiration to help you lead better. We can all use that. Stories, and our presence, are a gift. “The greatest gift we can give another human being is our presence. When you see them and connect with empathy you create an intangible connection, which is all about the heart.” = Anese Cavanaugh on the power of connection
