81. Why Emotional Awareness is a Leadership Advantage with Ewelina Samchalk

Episode notes

When you are used to moving fast, slowing down can feel like losing power. For many high-achieving women, the ability to push through, deliver, and keep going has been the very thing that created success. But there comes a point in leadership where drive alone is not enough. The next level requires emotional awareness, not as a softer skill, but as a deeper form of command. In this episode, I’m joined by Ewelina Samchalk, VP of Business and People Operations at Pernod Ricard, for a powerful conversation about emotional awareness, leadership identity, and the shift from survival mode to command energy. We explore why emotional intelligence is not about becoming less ambitious or less effective. It is about becoming more conscious, more relational, and more grounded in how you use your power.
