In today’s fast-paced and complex work environments, leaders often feel pressure to suppress emotions and present only a curated version of themselves. But what if bringing our whole selves to work—emotions, values, and all—made us stronger, more effective leaders? In this interactive session, we will explore the power of authenticity in leadership, reflect on the parts of ourselves we hold back, and create a personal Leadership User Guide to articulate how we show up at work and how we want to be understood. Through guided reflection and discussion, participants will leave with practical strategies to foster deeper connections, build trust, and create a culture where both they and their teams can thrive.
