Episode 43: Developing a "Big Mind" with Dr. Ron Stotts

Dr. Katie Sandoe Episode 43

In this episode, Dr. Katie welcomes transformational guide, author, and executive coach Dr. Ron Stotts, who brings over 45 years of wisdom to the conversation on conscious leadership.

Ron invites us to think about what it really means to evolve beyond hustle, constantly striving, and left-brain thinking into a more integrated, intuitive, and purposeful way of leading and living. Ron draws from decades of experience working with leaders, creatives, and changemakers to introduce a different kind of leadership, one rooted not in control or constant problem-solving, but in presence, self-awareness, and what he calls “Big Mind”. 

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:

  •  The difference between smart leadership and conscious leadership
  •  Why the inner journey is essential for sustainable, expansive leadership
  •  What changes when you lead from wholeness rather than fear
  •  How conscious leaders empower teams and reshape culture
  •  The real meaning of productivity (and why we might need to redefine it)

Ron’s story reminds us that leadership isn’t just about results, it’s about evolution. If you’re navigating change, feeling stretched thin, or ready for a more human approach to leading yourself and others, hit play now because this conversation is for you.
