Most leadership advice tells you to sound more polished, more strategic, more like everyone else who's already succeeded. Kim Miller-Hershon built an entire podcast around the opposite idea. Sana talks with business coach and podcast host Kim Miller-Hershon about why unglamorous skills like communication and presence matter more than any framework, and why authenticity might be an underrated business strategy. About the Guest:Kim Miller-Hershon is an international business coach, corporate trainer, and speaker who hosts the podcast Unconventional Wisdom About Conventional Wisdom. She works with executives and leaders on leadership and communication. Key Takeaways:Editing yourself to fit in rarely gets flagged by anyone else; you're often the only one enforcing it."Work hard for your money" isn't a universal rule; treating it as an absolute usually backfires.If your team can't function without you, that was built, usually by unclear guardrails, not untrustworthy employees.Asking "what questions do you have" gets a more honest answer than "do you have any questions," which invites a simple no.Before handing off a task, ask the person to repeat back what they heard; it catches miscommunication early.
