Part 2 with Ryan Woodruff

Leadership gets talked about a lot, but not always honestly.

In Part 2 of our conversation with Ryan Woodruff, we go a layer deeper into what leadership actually feels like when you’re the one carrying the weight. We talk personality types, leading across generations, and why high performers often struggle the most with confidence, burnout, and feeling like they always have to be “on.”

This episode is really about perspective - learning how to find your voice, manage your energy, and shift your mindset as your role grows. Ryan challenges the idea that leadership is about choosing between your success or your team’s success, and instead reframes it as both.

If you’ve ever felt stretched thin, questioned your confidence, or wondered how to lead without losing yourself in the process - this one will hit.

We cover:
• Personality types & leadership styles
• Multi-generational teams
• Confidence struggles of high performers
• Finding your voice as a leader
• Energy management & burnout
• Mindset shifts that actually matter

This episode is honest, grounding, and a reminder that leadership isn’t about being perfect - it’s about being aware.

Showing up confidently doesn’t mean having all the answers, but, it means knowing how to bring value even when you’re still learning.

In this episode we break down what confidence actually looks like in real estate (and life), especially when you’re new, overwhelmed, or not feeling like your best self. We talk about borrowing confidence before you earn it, why preparation beats perfection every time, and how clarity, presence, and honesty build real trust with clients.

We dive into:

• Why confidence is part of the service you provide

• Borrowing confidence before you feel it

• How preparation creates authority

• Knowing when to pause, say less, and speak with certainty

• Fake it till you make it. HEAVY ON: without lying or inflating your stats

• How real value is often what clients don’t see

• Why confidence, not charisma, builds trust

Whether you’re brand new or years into the business, this episode is a reminder that your value isn’t just what you do, it’s what you prevent from going wrong.

Leadership gets thrown around a lot, but what does it actually mean?

In Part 1 of Episode 47, we’re joined by Ryan Woodruff of Rhino Consulting & Coaching to unpack the real difference between leadership and management, why titles don’t automatically make someone a leader, and why responsibility is the part people don’t talk about enough.

We get into DISC personality styles, expectation setting, communication breakdowns, and why some people love leading while others want nothing to do with it and neither is wrong. This episode is honest, practical, and sets the foundation for understanding how leadership actually works in real life (not just on paper).

If you’re building a team, working with different personalities, or trying to lead without losing your mind, this one’s for you.
