Leadership isn’t just about vision—it’s about execution, character, and how well we can actually connect with people. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Denise King, president of Genesis LLC, to unpack what separates leaders who talk from leaders who deliver.

We dig into why people development and relationship-building work in every environment—from Fortune 500 companies to nonprofits—and why emotional intelligence has become non-negotiable in modern leadership. Dr. King breaks down what we call “timeout leadership”: listening with intent, asking better questions, and understanding what motivates the person in front of us before we try to lead them.

We also explore the differences between coaching W-2 employees and entrepreneurs, how to tie individual goals to organizational outcomes, and why community-building often fills the “emotional bank” when money alone can’t. Finally, Dr. King shares how she shifted from traditional investing into trading—and why skill-building can unlock a new wealth legacy.
