About this episode
Episode Overview
In this episode of Mastering the Art of Success, Debbi DiMaggio sits down with Crispin Thompson, leadership coach, speaker, and founder of The Leadership Studio, to unpack what truly separates good managers from impactful leaders.
After more than 25 years in senior leadership roles at companies like Hewlett Packard Enterprise, TaskUs, and QSC, Crispin noticed a recurring challenge: talented managers were being promoted without the confidence, presence, or leadership identity needed to succeed at the next level.
Today, Crispin helps leaders close the gap between how they see themselves and how others experience them—focusing on real-world leadership moments that matter most.
This conversation explores leadership confidence, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and how AI-powered coaching tools are reshaping leadership development.
