Welcome to InteSoul Leadership Podcast: Empowering Authentic Leadership

Hosted by a visionary leader whose life story embodies resilience, compassion, and a relentless pursuit of justice, ”InteSoul Leadership” is more than a podcast – it’s a movement towards authentic and transformative leadership.

From the nurturing guidance of her parents, our host learned early on to stand firm for what is right, even in solitude. Her childhood, marked by both the protective love of her greatest leaders – her parents – and the harsh realities of racial injustice, shaped her understanding of leadership’s true essence.

Her first encounter with racial prejudice in kindergarten, where she faced indifference from those meant to lead and protect, set the stage for her lifelong commitment to fighting bias and championing equity. This commitment was further solidified when her father, her hero, stepped in to demand accountability and justice, instilling in her the power of assertive, compassionate leadership.

Carrying these lessons through her diverse experiences in education, the workforce, and ministry, she has witnessed the spectrum of leadership – from those who let biases cloud their judgment to those who lead with an inclusive and loving heart. Her experiences have forged a deep-rooted love for all people, transcending the pain of past injustices.

Now, as the host of ”InteSoul Leadership,” she is on a mission to inspire a million leaders worldwide to lead with a healthy soul, embracing love for humanity. Her goal is to cultivate leaders who not only look and sound different but also leave a positive, lasting impact on everyone they encounter.

”Great Leaders own their story and empower other Leaders to be authentically successful.” This is the mantra that drives each episode of the podcast, where we delve into the depths of Leadership Transformation, Empowering Leaders, Building High-Performing Teams, and more. We invite corporate, academic, and church leaders to join us in this journey of personal growth, spiritual enlightenment, and practical leadership strategies.

    Integrity versus Authenticity

    Integrity versus Authenticity

    This week, I've been focused on integrity versus authenticity. It's just been coming up in my conversations. It's been coming up in my thought process, maybe because of some of the things I've been seeing and witnessing how some leaders have been interacting with their teams and how some people are just interacting with others. 
    We can sometimes mistake authenticity for integrity or vice versa. But honestly, I think it's more of us thinking that if I'm authentic, I'm acting with integrity. They are not the same. They are really close, but they're not the same. And it's critical for us to understand the difference.
