1h34 | 05/14/2025

Description

I'm very pleased to welcome back Your Startup Partner, Lee Lam, to Leading with Integrity. We talk about everything from Lee's journey from corporate career to solopreneur, to empathy and emotional intelligence in effective leadership. A lovely chat about business and leadership that takes us via topics like the shortcomings of traditional consulting practices, the challenges faced by small businesses, empowering teams, the evolving landscape of work and how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted emotional connections in the workplace. If you're a solopreneur, founder, or aspiring business owner, then I have 2 massive recommendations for you: 1. Listen to this episode, and more importantly, 2. Have a chat with Lee.
