The Chief Psycho Podcast

Lead Like You Feel It

Jonathan Bonanno / Taylor Holsinger Season 4 Episode 8

What if the secret to great leadership wasn’t found in a playbook—but in your emotional landscape?

This week, we sit down with Taylor Holsinger, ZIA’s Director of Development, leadership expert, and I/O psychology doctoral candidate, for a raw and real conversation about what it means to lead from within.

From raising kids to raising teams, Taylor opens up about the personal and professional identity shifts that shaped her approach to leadership—and how emotional intelligence isn’t just a soft skill, it’s a strategic advantage. We explore the psychology of modern leadership, generational workplace tension, and what it looks like to create systems that support—not suppress—human growth.

If you’ve ever wondered how to hold space for others while still holding yourself... this one’s for you.

Let’s talk truth, trust, and leadership that actually feels something.

Alright, podcasters—that’s a wrap on this episode of The Chief Psycho Podcast! If you got something out of today’s convo, do me a favor—share it, tag us, and keep the conversation going.

Remember, entrepreneurship isn’t just about the grind—it’s about the growth. Stay bold, stay human, and keep pushing the limits.

Catch you next time. Until then—keep it psycho.
