The Privilege of Leadership: Negotiating Power Without Losing Your Heart

Описание: In this episode of Negotiation Secrets, I sat down with Faith Mneno for a powerful and deeply reflective conversation about negotiating leadership, influence, and purpose.
A strategist, consultant, and TEDx organizer, Faith brings a rare perspective on leadership that goes beyond titles and authority. This conversation explores leadership as a privilege, the inner posture required to lead well, and how influence operates across different systems from corporate spaces to faith-based communities and passion-driven platforms.
Faith shares how leadership is shaped by humility, adaptability, and self-awareness, why influence matters more than position, and how leaders must negotiate power, people, and pressure without losing their core. We also dive into resilience, knowing when to lead, when to retreat, and how to build the right “corner” to sustain long-term impact.

• Leadership as a privilege, not a status
