You don’t need to change who you are to lead effectively—just bring your whole self to the table.

I’m thrilled to bring you an encore presentation where I talk about what truly makes a successful leader—and, more importantly, how you can thrive by using your own unique leadership style.

In a world that craves authentic, open, and effective leadership, I believe it’s time to move away from a one-size-fits-all mentality and start embracing what makes each of us unique.

I share some of my own stories and experiences to illustrate how your personality, values, and strengths—not to mention your weaknesses—can become some of your most valuable assets. I discuss why being honest with yourself, understanding your core motivations, and even accepting your areas of weakness can help you stand out as a leader. I also offer practical strategies, like practicing radical transparency and creating a sense of purpose within your team, so you can empower others as well as yourself.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a manager, or just someone who wants to make a bigger impact, there’s something here for you.
