What if your greatest growth strategy was already inside you? Learn how leaders around the world are using inner wisdom to drive business clarity, purpose, and confidence.
Success in business isn’t always about doing more—it’s often about listening deeper.
In a recent episode of the Knack 4 Business podcast, host Bernie Franzgrote sits down with Peggy O’Neal, founder of Democracy is Us, to explore how small and medium business owners can break free from the “success trap” by reconnecting with their inner wisdom.
From Law to Leadership: A Personal Pivot
After over a decade in law, Peggy O’Neal left her career behind to pursue something deeper—helping people lead from within. Her method, Wisdomary Leading, brings ancient wisdom into modern business, guiding professionals toward decisions that align with their values.
How Wisdom Leads to Growth
O’Neal shares that many leaders feel unfulfilled because they’re chasing the wrong kind of success. Instead of constant achievement, she encourages business owners to:
- Trust their intuition when making big decisions
- Notice when fear—not clarity—is steering their path
- Shift from reactive leadership to purpose-driven planning
- Integrate self-awareness into their daily workflow
These steps, she says, don’t just create better businesses—they build better lives.
Conclusion
The lesson is clear: when leaders stop trying to prove themselves and start listening to their inner voice, they lead with more courage, more clarity, and more meaning. And that’s the kind of leadership that lasts.
