    #118 Authentic Leadership

    Sacrificing your authenticity comes at a cost.

    You don't want to miss this one!

    Dr. Melanie Van Rooy will blow your minds away with her insights, stories, and personality. She is a flamingo amongst a flock of pigeons. I find her so inspirational, and her insights into authentic leadership are so important in our times. As leaders, if we want to bring change, we must bring our whole selves to the table. (It's not always easy). Authenticity creates psychological safety. By not leading with authenticity, something breaks within us, and this shows up where we lead and this impacts organisations, the home front and has a trickle down effect into our communities and society at large.

    Melanie is a force to be reckoned with, and when she shares her wisdom, she takes you on a journey that makes you feel heard and understood. Bring a pen and paper; she will drop many truth bombs and bumper sticker quotes!

    This webinar is going to leave you hungry for more.
