Description

In this episode, Ben explores whether it's possible to stay authentic while also adapting your leadership style.

Drawing on coaching conversations and personality models like DISC and OCEAN, he explains why adaptability doesn't mean "changing who you are".

Instead, adjusting your behaviour to meet the needs of different situations is both necessary and can still be genuine.

Ben shares real examples from his facilitation and project management work, showing how leaders can honour their natural traits while flexing their approach when required.
