Our conversation explored what it means to lead from joy in today’s high-pressure workplaces. Sheryl shared her belief that joy is not a distraction from productivity, but rather the differentiator that helps leaders thrive and inspire others. She discussed how self-awareness, intentionality, and courage are key to cultivating what she calls “intentional joy,” especially in cultures that feel stressful or disconnected. By leading from joy, she explained, leaders build environments of trust, psychological safety, and creativity—where innovation and engagement naturally follow.
