In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Noel Massie — former Vice President of Operations at UPS and author of Congrats! You’ve Been Promoted — for a masterclass on real leadership.

Together, they unpack the journey from being a high-performing employee to becoming an effective, values-driven leader. Noel shares the unseen challenges newly promoted leaders face, including ethical dilemmas, trust-building, team dynamics, and navigating the balance between accountability and empathy. Through candid stories and deeply reflective insights, this conversation is a blueprint for anyone who wants to lead with integrity, emotional intelligence, and purpose.

From operational excellence to community engagement and mentorship, Dr. Alisa and Noel explore the lifelong responsibility of leadership — not as a title, but as a mindset. Whether you're newly promoted, aspiring to lead, or mentoring others, this episode is filled with practical takeaways that will elevate your leadership game.

Key Takeaways:
