Leadership Sovereignty Podcast: Career Growth and Promotion · 2026-02-02 · 15 min
Most leaders walk into the room looking strong while falling apart inside. And without emotional intelligence, that pressure builds until something erupts. In this episode of the Leadership Sovereignty Podcast, host Ralph Owens and co-host Terry Baylor continue their conversation with Amethyst Roberson - author, speaker, and emotional intelligence strategist. This is Part 2 of 5. Amethyst introduces the internal audit framework - four questions every leader should ask themselves before walking into any high-stakes situation. She breaks down the difference between honesty and vulnerability on a team, explains why emotional intelligence is an inside job before it is an outside skill, and shares why the volcano effect is the most predictable leadership failure most professionals never see coming.
