Here's something I want to come out and say directly.

Parenting is a form of leadership.

Leadership, that term, holds a lot of weight.

Leaders, leadership, learning the skills to be a great leader.

If you're a parent and you're listening to this, I want to say to you directly, you are the leader.

You are the CEO of one of the most important organizations

in the world and without a doubt the most important organization in your world.

Your family home. And so for today's episode, you can see I'm straightening myself up in my chair

because I'm so excited. I will be talking to one of my favorite leadership experts, Simon Seneck.

Simon has such a unique perspective on leadership. He is both putting out ideas where leaders

are so strong and so human. They can embody their authority and they also see the value of

connecting to and listening to other people. I love learning from him.

And I'm so excited for you to hear a conversation about leadership and his ideas and how

they all directly connect to what we're all doing every day with our kids. Before we jump in,

I just want you to give yourself something. I want you to tell yourself

right now. I'm a leader. Watch for self-criticism. Oh, that's not true. I'm just a dad. I'm just a mom.

Put that on the shelf. We can't get rid of it, but we can put it to the side. And I want you to try

on the idea that you are a very important leader. That's how I see you.

And that's how I want you to take in this conversation. I'm Dr. Becky, and this is good inside.

We'll be back right after this. I feel like on the surface, all the things you do around leadership and organizations, things I do, parenting families can feel so different.

But I feel like whenever we talk, we often feel like we're actually talking about the same thing.

And maybe one of the ways we're representing that is both wearing seafone green for this conversation, showing all the ways we're similar.
