How Great Leaders Make People Feel Seen | Stella Dellamora | TEDxGeorgeMasonU
What if great leadership starts with something as simple as helping someone feel seen? In this TEDx Talk, Dr. Stella (aka Elizabeth Dellamora, PhD) reveals a powerful truth: leadership isn't reserved for executives or people with fancy titles. As Simon Sinek says, we're all responsible for someone else's success. That means we're all leaders. Drawing on stories from her kindergarten classroom to corporate consulting, Stella shares how the best leaders make others feel noticed, valued, and supported—starting with three deceptively simple and easy-to-implement steps. With real-life examples and compelling research, this talk is both a wake-up call and a guidebook for anyone who wants to build stronger teams, improve workplace engagement, and lead with intention—whether you're a CEO, a team member, or somewhere in between. Watch now to learn how small actions create big impact. Dr. Stella is a leadership coach, business executive, and founder of Seligo, a company dedicated to helping individuals and teams unlock their full potential by leveraging strengths and fostering trust. Along with her doctorate in Educational Leadership, Dr. Stella is a WHY Certified Coach through Simon Sinek’s The Optimism Company, a Gallup Certified Strengths Coach, and holds credentials from the International Coaching Federation. With her unique blend of expertise and experience, Dr. Stella empowers leaders to crush their goals, build resilient teams, and achieve lasting success. An accomplished triathlete (4 x Ironman), marathoner (3x qualifier for World Majors marathons: Chicago, New York, and Boston), and hiker (Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim in less than a day), she brings the same determination to her coaching as she does to scaling both literal and metaphorical summits.
