Illustrating Leadership Lesson: Quiet Leadership

In this episode of our podcast, we are joined by Amanda Bechard, a financial coach, and the visionary behind Budgeting Babe Co. Her mission is to reshape the conversation around money and empower women and families to achieve financial security, ultimately resulting in less debt, more savings, and a sense of financial freedom. When she's not helping clients gain financial confidence, you'll find Amanda enjoying the coastal beauty of her North Carolina hometown or traveling the world.

The Quiet Leader in Our Lives

Amanda shares a remarkable story about her husband, a person who has quietly but profoundly influenced her life as a leader. While he may be the type to shy away from the spotlight, Amanda wholeheartedly acknowledges the transformative power of his leadership style.

A Leader Worth Following

A great leader, Amanda believes, is someone you'd follow even if they didn't have a title. Her husband exemplifies this trait. She admires how he's taught her to trust people, to be patient, and to embrace a mindset shift. These qualities have deeply impacted her outlook on leadership.

Amanda highlights the importance of leading by example. Her husband's ability to be his authentic self and bring his unique qualities to their partnership motivates her. She talks about how this authentic leadership has helped her venture into entrepreneurship and take bold steps, like investing in her business. His unwavering support has been a driving force in Amanda's entrepreneurial journey.
