Helping Teens Become Leaders with Lorrain Connell

What makes someone a leader — and how do we teach leadership to ourselves and the next generation? In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Lorrain Connell, a leadership educator who helps teenagers build confidence, discover their strengths, and become the leaders they were meant to be. We talk about how leadership isn't about titles or being the loudest in the room. It's about self-awareness, empathy, and learning how to use your unique qualities to make an impact. Lorrain shares powerful tools and exercises she uses to help teens (and even adults!) uncover their best traits and lead authentically — plus how parents, teachers, and mentors can support them along the way. We cover: What leadership really means (and why it's not just for adults). How to help teens identify their strengths and use them with confidence. Mindset shifts that turn self-doubt into self-leadership. The role empathy and emotional intelligence play in great leadership. How to nurture leadership skills in yourself or the next generation — starting now. Whether you're a parent, educator, teen, or someone looking to lead yourself more powerfully, this conversation will inspire you to see leadership in a whole new way — and to believe that everyone has what it takes to lead.   To hire Lorraine: https://www.peersnotfears.com/programs-1 To follow her on IG: https://www.instagram.com/peersnotfears/ *** To learn how to confidently lead your team and run your own business without stress and overwhelm, click here to coach with Katie: https://www.katiegrimes.com/balance
