Supporting Leaders in Transforming Values with Samira Hale

Values are easy to name—but much harder to live.

In this episode of The Space Between, we speak with Samira Hale about what it really means to support leaders as they navigate values-based transformation. This conversation goes beyond mission statements and language to examine the lived tension between stated values and day-to-day decisions.

Samira shares her experience working with leaders and organizations during moments of cultural shift, growth, and recalibration. We talk about why values often surface most clearly during periods of discomfort, and how leaders can hold complexity without defaulting to control or performance.

This episode explores the emotional and relational dimensions of leadership change: how identity, power, and responsibility intersect with values, and why alignment is often an ongoing practice rather than a destination. We also discuss the importance of self-awareness, nervous system literacy, and integrity when guiding others through transformation.

This is a grounded, honest conversation for leaders who want to move beyond aspirational values and into embodied ones—and for those supporting them through that process. It offers a reminder that meaningful change doesn’t come from certainty, but from presence, reflection, and willingness to stay with what’s unfolding.
