S2 Ep. 31: Magnetic Leadership: Why Authenticity Builds Trust and Influence, with Whitney Faires
Wed Dec 31 2025
Today I’m joined by Whitney Faires, internationally recognized coach, keynote speaker, and executive leader, for a powerful conversation about magnetic presence, authenticity, and real connection. We unpack why being magnetic is not about being loud, why authenticity is not the same as being unfiltered, and how vulnerability builds trust in leadership, sales, and life. We talk relational drift, emotional intelligence, and the small, intentional moments that create loyalty, influence, and impact. You’ll leave rethinking how you show up, how you lead, and how connection truly changes everything.
