Episode 8: "100 Conversations Later… Most Leadership Problems Start Internally" with Sierra Collins

After 100 Conversations… Here's What I've Learned

After more than 100 conversations with business owners, entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, educators, coaches, and executives, one lesson continues to stand out: many of the challenges we experience externally actually begin internally.

In this solo episode of Branching Out with Sierra, Sierra Collins reflects on the common themes that have emerged across two seasons of conversations. From confidence and communication to difficult conversations, accountability, and change, she explores why leadership is often less about having the right strategy and more about developing greater self-awareness.

If you've ever found yourself frustrated by a relationship, a team member, or a recurring challenge, this episode will encourage you to pause and ask a different question: What role might I be playing?

Because leadership doesn't begin with changing other people—it begins with understanding ourselves.

Episode 7: "Calm Is Not An Accident" with Lisa Herndon

Leadership isn't tested when everything is going according to plan. It's revealed in the moments when life feels uncertain.

In this episode of Branching Out with Sierra, Sierra Collins welcomes back Lisa Herndon, Public Information Officer, communications professional, and emcee of the Tri-State Leadership Summit, for a conversation about what it truly means to remain steady under pressure.

Together, they explore why calm isn't a personality trait but a skill that can be intentionally developed. From responding instead of reacting to leading without all the answers, Lisa shares practical wisdom from both her professional experiences and personal leadership journey.

Whether you're leading a family, a team, a business, or simply navigating the challenges of everyday life, this conversation will encourage you to think differently about leadership presence, emotional steadiness, and the kind of leader people need when circumstances become difficult.

Because sometimes the greatest act of leadership isn't having the perfect answer. It's choosing how you'll show up.
