Speaking/Keynote 06

Leading Out Loud

You, the leader, shrinking yourself. Here's the cost to your own influence

Audience: Emerging Leaders · HR & Culture Teams · Exec Teams in Charge

The Address

Leadership was never really about skill. Most capable leaders learn, early, to shrink themselves just enough to stay likeable - and it quietly costs them their influence, and their organisation its potential. I show leaders exactly where they're doing this without realising it, and how to lead without playing it safe.
