About this listen

 You don’t need more leadership garnish. You need a better base.


In the kitchen, that base is mirepoix—carrot, celery, onion. In leadership, it’s the same: three core ingredients show up in every hard conversation, every decision under pressure, every moment your team is silently asking: Can I trust you? Are we clear?

The Leadership Mirepoix

  • Integrity

  • Emotional Intelligence

  • Clarity

Data point (because receipts matter): Gallup found only 13% of employees strongly agree leadership communicates effectively—so clarity isn’t common… which means it’s a competitive advantage.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why pressure reveals your defaults (heat reveals the recipe)

  • How authenticity lives inside integrity (and what authenticity is not)

  • How EQ creates psychological safety—and why your nervous system “broadcasts”

  • The 3-part formula for real clarity: meaning, direction, agreements

  • The “chef’s kiss” transparency script that builds trust without oversharing

Episode Timestamps:

  • Emotional Intelligence: Your nervous system sets the tone; presence creates safety.

  • Clarity: Meaning + direction + agreements = momentum.

  • Chef’s kiss: Responsible transparency that moves things forward.
