Stepping into a leadership role from the outside can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. In this episode of “What’s Possible,” host Ilene Schaffer talks with Capella Fahoome, executive coach, film producer, and expert in storytelling and positive leadership, about practical ways new leaders can quickly establish trust, connection, and confidence.

Capella, who is known for her award-winning documentaries featured at Sundance, Tribeca, Netflix, and PBS, shares how she broke into new industries and overcame initial setbacks. You’ll learn why authenticity, humility, and the simple “five-foot rule” can make a huge difference when connecting with new teams and peers.

She explains how we can use storytelling to foster psychological safety, how Gen Z is reshaping leadership expectations, and why positive listening and care are now the essential power skills for modern leaders. Whether you’re a new leader wanting to make an immediate impact or a seasoned executive wanting to better welcome and integrate new leadership, this episode provides real strategies to help everyone thrive.
