Early in my career, I thought success meant being perfectly polished all the time.

You know the look: tailored suit, calm voice, always in control, never showing emotion.

I believed that was what executive presence meant - and honestly, a lot of us in HR were taught to think that way.

But that version of leadership? It’s outdated.

Today’s workplaces are craving something different. Leaders who are real. Leaders who are relatable. Leaders who are human.

The real secret to executive presence? Drop the act.

In this episode, I’m going to talk about how to be a truly authentic leader and why being vulnerable is a game changer.
