Leadership doesn’t require perfection. It demands authenticity.

In this episode, Katie Trotter, Chief Program Officer at the Chapman Foundation, explores how leaders can effectively rebuild trust after making mistakes.

Katie shares that leadership is less about titles and more about influence, which is shaped through small, intentional actions that set the tone for those around us.

She introduces the concept of being chronically human, and points out that when leaders pretend to have it all together, they miss opportunities for genuine connection.

The conversation dives into the value of learning from missteps, and Katie outlines a practical five-step process for repairing trust:

Regulate emotions
Name the behavior
Identify better choices
Engage in conversation
Listen to understand

Whether you're managing a team or navigating personal relationships, this episode offers actionable insights to help you lead with intention and care.
