Most business podcasts focus on strategy, growth, technology or leadership frameworks.
This episode is different.
Our guest is Stephanie Schoss – leadership expert, executive coach and lecturer at the University of St. Gallen, one of Europe’s leading business schools.
Stephanie Schoss studied at the University of St. Gallen, Singapore Management University and Harvard. She holds a PhD from RWTH Aachen University and is a Director of the Competence Center for Top Team Research at the Institute of International Management at the University of St. Gallen.
Besides her academic career, Stephanie is a passionate commercial and seaplane pilot and has been an active entrepreneur for the past 20 years – for which she was recognised as manager of the year in 2013 by Generation CEO.
Besides her professional life, she is a dedicated mother of 4 children and 4 stepchildren and lives part of the year in New Zealand with her family.
Stephanie studied business with a focus on finance, but throughout her career, she became fascinated by a different question: What makes people truly grow?
In this conversation, we explore leadership beyond titles and management techniques. We talk about developing the capacity to hold contradictions, why excitement and anxiety often come from the same place, how art and nature quietly shape the way we think, and why hope may be one of the most underrated leadership skills today.
We also discuss:
- Ambidextrous leadership and leading through paradoxes
- Learning through every decade of life
- The difference between surface-level and deep-level diversity
- Why does exposure to art and nature matters more than we realize
- And what Pippi Longstocking can teach us about courage:
“I’ve never done this before, so I must be brilliant at it!”
