The Leader Within: How getting to know who you are is essential to creating an inclusive environment

About this talk

Getting to know who you are underneath all those labels is possibly the best gift you can give yourself and your people. As your level of awareness increases as a leader, your chances of success will increase too! When you feel safe, then so will your team.

Our insecurities, fears and limitations are the root cause of most of the problems we bring into our roles as leaders. When we show up without the masks, authentic and honest, we remove the barriers between ourselves and others so that everyone can feel equal and included.

Join us to learn how to show up as you are and allowing your authentic Leader to shine through.

Session Takeaways

Knowing yourself is the foundation of solid character, purpose, and authenticity. Once you understand who you are, not who the world thinks you should be, then you're ready to lead.

The more you relax into who you are as a leader, the more impact you will have, your relationships will improve, and the more people will trust you and themselves.

When you experience how natural and comfortable it is to show up authentically, it will make less sense to try to be someone else.
