Lyndsay Dowd is a speaker, two-time bestselling author, leadership expert, and founder of Heartbeat for
Hire. After spending 23 years in corporate leadership at IBM, she now
helps organizations dismantle toxic leadership and build cultures where
both people and performance thrive.
In today’s episode, Lyndsay joins us to share the story of her unexpected
career relaunch from corporate work to entrepreneurship.
We dive into the pivotal moment of being fired that changed everything
in Lyndsay’s life, the identity crisis that followed, and the three powerful
questions that helped her rebuild and eventually start her own company.
Lyndsay also explains the evolution of leadership and the importance of
soft skills in driving performance and loyalty. She shares practical leadership
strategies that anyone can use to create stronger teams and healthier
workplaces.
Our discussion also covers the importance of career security rather than
job security, why everyone should consider starting a side hustle, how to
use AI as a tool rather than a crutch, and how to surround yourself with
the right community to accelerate your success.
Join us as we explore rebuilding after failure, becoming the leader you
wish you had, creating cultures that drive performance, navigating
career transitions, and building meaningful professional communities.
