What do leadership, power, and a wolf raised on a Wyoming farm have in common? More than you think. In this episode of Leader Fuel, Dr. Linda Travelute shares a jaw-dropping true story—her husband’s pet wolf—and the day it locked eyes with a parakeet… and the bird dropped dead. No bark. No growl. Just presence.
This wild (and true) story unlocks the secret most leaders overlook: your presence alone may be silencing your team. If you’ve ever been told you “intimidate people” or noticed your team goes quiet when you speak, this episode is for you. Learn how to prepare for the power you carry—and how to use it to lead with confidence and care.
You’ll walk away with tools to harness your leadership presence, avoid accidental intimidation, and lead with confidence that invites collaboration—not fear.
Key Takeaways:
- What happened when Dr. Linda’s husband unknowingly raised a wolf—and what leaders can learn from it
- Why your presence has more impact than your words
- How the “power amplification effect” creates fear—even unintentionally
- A real-life confrontation that turned a workplace wolf into a team player
- 3 actionable strategies to lead with power that invites, not intimidates
