How to Use Your Unique Leadership Style to Thrive [Encore]
Fri Oct 31 2025
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.
