Written By damon lembi

Bernadette McClelland, global sales leadership consultant, keynote speaker, and founder of the Sales Leadership Academy, joins host Damon Lembi to challenge the status quo in sales leadership. With powerful insights from her corporate and coaching journey, Bernadette offers a compelling call to action: disrupt yourself before the market does. This episode unpacks the deeper human elements of leadership—identity, intention, and influence—and how today’s sales leaders can future-proof their impact by codifying their IP, balancing masculine and feminine energies, and coaching for belief, not just numbers.
