This week on the Lady leadership show I had the great pleasure of interviewing Renée Giarrusso she is a sought-after communication and leadership expert and founder of RG Dynamics and Limitless Leaders. 

Renee is a keynote speaker, trainer, mentor, and professional certified coach (PCC). She passionately works with leaders, teams, and organizations to energise mindset and accelerate leadership and communication to lift performance and create collaborative and connected cultures. 

Renee has written her third book called the ‘Gift Mindset’ which shows how to increase engagement and collaboration at work by changing your mind. This book is for leaders at all levels and is about owning your challenges and your mistakes. Plus taking the time to share the lessons which could be a survival guide for someone else. 

We all have the choice to choose your mindset that impacts your feelings. We talked about amplifying our negative thoughts and reframing our mindset. I discussed with Renee about reframing and how this can work. 

Renee’s book is 12 gifts to lead and live a life of purpose, connection and contribution.

Each chapter is dedicated to unwrapping each of the 12 gifts - Optimism, Change, Curiosity, Courage, Gratitude, Resilience, Growth, Empathy, Connection, Forgiveness, Contribution and Re-energising – with insights, stories, and case studies that illustrate how each gift can be useful, as well as practical tips on how you can reframe a challenge into an opportunity. By deepening and developing each of the 12 Gifts, which are key soft skills, we can progress ourselves and others forward.

We talked about friendship, networking, and boundaries plus networking with people from other cultures.

I think you will enjoy this chat!
