Showing up as an authentic leader, both in and outside of work, is critical to high functioning teams and organizations. An Authenticity keynote or team training addresses the fact that SO many factors try to convince us to be things we’re not and authenticity doesn’t just happen accidentally. Instead, authenticity is a conscious choice that must be practiced with aggressive intentionality to tap the highest potential in your organization.

Attendee takeaways include:

  • Leaning into the unique skills each team member brings
  • Combating imposter syndrome
  • Owning your expertise
  • Leading with authenticity
  • Finding your voice and clarifying your goals
  • Inspiring authenticity in others and more

Anyone can learn to be creative because it’s less of a skill you have or don’t have, and more of a muscle you build over time with practice.

Attendee takeaways include:

  • The specific circumstances creativity needs to thrive
