Episode 26: What We All Wish Leaders Had with Future Cain
In this episode, we're diving into the power of social emotional leadership with the brilliant and joyful Future Cain—CEO of Future of SEL and a nationally recognized expert in social emotional intelligence and workplace wellness. We explore what it really means to lead from a place of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and positive relationships—whether you’re managing a team, raising a family, or showing up for your community. Future shares her signature "Four A's Framework" to help you grow as a socially emotional leader: Awareness, Acknowledgment, Apology, and Action. We talk candidly about the wellness crisis so many are facing, the chasm between how leaders think they’re perceived vs. how they actually are, and how small shifts—like hydration, sunlight, and reflection—can spark big transformation. If you’ve ever felt drained, disconnected, or unsure how to show up as a better leader (in any part of life), this episode will leave you inspired, equipped, and energized.
