Have you ever wondered if you can lead with both strength and a servant’s heart? What if your deepest loss became the catalyst for your greatest leadership? In this episode Steve Ramona sits down with Cara Jean—an energetic servant‑leader who believes that helping others does not diminish you, it amplifies you.
Cara Jean opens her heart by sharing what “servant leadership” truly means—not the humility that hides you, but the humility that lets you shine alongside others. She reveals the tools she uses to stand firm under pressure: authenticity, doing less of what doesn’t serve, and being the person who asks, “How can I support YOU?”
You’ll hear a story that cuts deep. When Cara’s brother committed suicide, she was called into a new kind of leadership—one that doesn’t pretend the world is clean and perfect, but acknowledges grief, collaborates, and builds cultures where people matter. She walks us through her four power leadership tools: helping your operations team clear what’s unimportant, aligning with confidence, adapting to life's challenges, and preserving your energy.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between doing business and being human, this episode is a compass. Cara shows you that choosing a servant’s heart is a radical act of leadership. And that when you tend to your own energy—your mind, your emotions, your body, even your sparkle—you create a ripple of transformation.
P.S. If something in this episode made your heart stir—maybe a place where you want to lead more lovingly or step more fully into faith in failure—take one small action today. Reach out to someone you serve. Share what you hope to change in how you lead. See where that opens a door.
