Lisa Pedersen on Leading From Your Purpose, Not Your Title

Lisa Pedersen spent 21 years at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, 12 of them as CEO, and she says the turning point came when she stopped trying to have every answer and started asking better questions. In this conversation with Greg Aden she talks about why she named her company Root Purpose Group, how a why statement belongs to the person and not the job title, and what it takes to lead a team that is actually thriving. Greg and Lisa also get into work and life balance, which Lisa reframes as making intentional choices about your energy, and how curiosity carries over from coaching leaders to raising kids. Lisa shares honestly about her role as a stepmom and how much richer the conversations get when she stays curious instead of leading with her own agenda.
