No More Carbon Copies

In this conversation on the No More Carbon Copies Podcast, Roger sits down with Emily Moses to explore leadership, self-awareness, and the courage to define “enough.” Emily shares how her career in healthcare and people-and-culture leadership shaped her perspective, and how writing her book, ‘Enough: The Relentless Pursuit of More’, became a way to help others stop striving for approval and start leading from a place of clarity and confidence.Together, they discuss the pressure leaders feel to perform, compare, and conform, and why that mindset often leads to burnout, fear, and imposter syndrome. Emily explains how healthy leadership starts with humility, honesty, and trust—and why organizations thrive when people are placed in the right seats and given the freedom to bring their full selves to work.This episode is a thoughtful and encouraging reminder that real leadership doesn’t come from chasing more. It comes from knowing who you are, leading with purpose, and building cultures where people can truly thrive.Download our free Leadership Sweet Spot PDF https://vivero.squarespace.com/sweetspotpdf
