Sheena Eizmendiz is a mindset coach, facilitator, consultant, and owner of The WellBiz, where she and her team equip founders and executives to elevate effectiveness, build resilient teams, and scale with integrity through executive and personal development programs. She joins Access Your Leadership for a candid, energizing conversation about courage, resilience, and the inside-out work leaders get to do to create sustainable impact…in the boardroom and in their lives.

From arriving in the U.S. as a child immigrant from Cuba to launching her first practice at 23 as a newly single mom of two, Sheena shares the hard-won wisdom that comes from “building the plane while flying it.” She reflects on 18 years in private practice (NLP, clinical hypnotherapy, EFT, positive psychology with a focus on trauma and substance abuse), the evolution into corporate consulting, stacking seven DEI certifications during the pandemic, and the vision that took her from a one-room office to a multi-therapist practice with a waitlist. Along the way, she unpacks healthy relationships (with self, business, money, and team), plus the village of coaches, strategists, and masterminds that keep her sharp and grounded.

What does courage look like when you act before you have certainty…and resist the urge to control? How do you transform “failure” into data, direction, and momentum? Why do vision and values outperform hustle, and how can leaders work on the business (not just in it) without sacrificing what matters most? What can parenting teach us about empowering (versus micromanaging) teams? How are Millennials and Gen Z reshaping the future of work…and what should today’s leaders learn from them? And which daily practices actually build the resilience, adaptability, and clarity to lead in a world that won’t stop changing? Sheena’s story is a masterclass in choosing impact over fear and designing leadership from the inside out. We have no doubt that you’ll enjoy and gain so much from the conversation!

Sirena Dimas is a Mid-Market Employee Health & Benefits Consultant at Marsh McLennan Agency, where she helps fast-growing, multi-state companies navigate evolving compliance and ensure their people actually understand and use the benefits they’re given. She joins Access Your Leadership for a candid, insightful conversation about service-driven leadership, employee education, and the trust required to deliver on what can feel like an “expensive promise” when it matters most.

Sirena shares how she went from being a young mom learning the industry from the ground up to becoming a sought-after advisor who meets people where they are…translating complex policies into real-world clarity, and bringing the same coaching mindset she uses in youth soccer to the boardroom. From retail lessons in asking better questions to leading an AYSO chapter, growing up Latina in San Francisco, and choosing integrity and transparency as non-negotiables, Sirena offers a grounded look at what it takes to build confidence, engagement, and cohesion across an entire organization.

What does it look like to treat benefits not as paperwork, but as a promise employees can depend on? How do you become an expert not just in policies, but in your client’s people, culture, and context? Why do micro-habits (active listening, pausing before responding, and even a simple smile) change the tone of leadership, especially online? How does “slow is fast, and fast is slow” help teams avoid rework and build lasting trust? And how can gratitude and presence quiet the inner critic so you can lead from what matters most? Sirena’s story is an inspiring reminder that leadership is a privilege and that clarity is kind. Whether you’re building a company, leading a team, or leveling up your self-leadership, this episode is full of practical insights you can use right away.

Eric Gros-Dubois is the Principal and Co-Founder of EPGD Business Law, a Miami-based firm that counsels and supports entrepreneurs and businesses through every stage of the business lifecycle. With a team of over 60 professionals, Eric has built a firm rooted in mentorship, empowerment, and a deep commitment to developing the next generation of legal talent.

What happens when you invest in people early and trust them to punch above their weight? How do you balance the tension between management and leadership in a fast-growing business? What does it take to let go of micromanagement while still owning responsibility as a leader? How do you build a firm (or any organization)that outlasts you? And why is delegation, when practiced with trust and clarity, one of the most critical skills for leaders at every level?

Eric shares candid stories from his own journey…from leaving the security of traditional law firms, to taking the leap into entrepreneurship, to co-founding and scaling one of Miami’s most dynamic business law firms. Alongside Hakim, he explores the nuances of mentorship, growth mindset, and self-awareness, highlighting the powerful distinction between delegating tasks and delegating responsibility, and why leadership is never limited to a job title.

This conversation is packed with insights on building culture, empowering others, and leading yourself so you can lead others more effectively. Whether you’re a lawyer, a founder, or simply someone committed to your own growth, you’ll walk away inspired by Eric’s philosophy and practical wisdom.
