For over 30 years, I've dabbled in the leadership field culminating in a search for the perfect leadership philosophy through a doctorate in leadership… but as I like to say… I am still growing up and have so much to learn. Because I live in a remote area of the world I’ve decided to make this podcast a shared classroom where we’ll take a deep dive into leadership. How being authentic doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a better leader. I’ll have conversations around identity, ego, humility, being courageous and value-centered leadership. I’ll be chatting with leaders who understand that who they are, their identity, sense of self, values, and beliefs are integral to their leadership. Leaders who want to become a better version of themselves and realize that the need to reconcile who they are, is the golden key to living their leadership approach authentically. I have cast a wide net of friends and colleagues … those I have worked and volunteered with and have a tremendous amount of awe and respect for. So, who’s that leader in the mirror, you may ask? Well, join me on this wee journey, and let's find out. Creator: Sharon Blanchard | Producer: Matt Gunn | https://www.principledleadership.org.nz
