About this episode
Cate Luzio discusses her leadership philosophy and the importance of authenticity and intention in leadership.
Meet the visionary and dynamic Founder and CEO of Luminary – Cate Luzio. Cate Luzio believes leadership starts with standing up for what you believe in—and for others. She values listening, trusting your talents, and finding your own leadership style while adapting to your audience. Cate encourages people not to second-guess themselves. You’re in the role for a reason—own it, make the most of it, and be the best version of yourself. As a leader, you need to lead the change with honesty, clarity, and open dialogue. Guided by the mindset, “How do I want to be treated?” She does everything with intention and puts herself in the customer's shoes. A former athlete and passionate traveler who's visited 130+ countries, Cate finds inspiration in coaches, cultures, and communities around the world.
