In this episode of Project Candor, Jeanne Andersen sits with Dr. Freda Brazle, a global leadership strategist and transformation coach, to explore what truly drives effective leadership. With over 30 years of experience across corporate and nonprofit spaces, Freda shares why mindset, not just strategy, is the key to performance, culture, and long-term impact.

She highlights the importance of empowering people, building strong relationships, and leading with self-awareness, especially in today’s fast-changing and demanding environment. From addressing disengagement and “quiet quitting” to helping leaders move from feeling stuck to gaining clarity, Freda offers practical insights on leading with intention and empathy.

Drawing from her Zambian-American background and global experience, Freda brings a unique perspective on adaptability, communication, and purpose-driven leadership. This episode is a powerful reminder that great leadership starts from within and is ultimately measured by how we show up for others.
