Ditch the Leader Mask: Show Up Real and Lead Better

Tired of feeling like you have to be perfect to lead well? You’re not alone. In this episode, we go beyond the leadership buzzword of “vulnerability” to explore something even more powerful: being real. You’ll learn why showing your full self—including your hope, doubt, strength, and humanity—isn’t just refreshing, it’s transformational. I'll dive into the research, share a real-world leadership story, and break down the difference between emotional reactivity and what I call “regulated realness.” If you’re a healthcare leader navigating stress, complexity, and high expectations, this episode is your permission slip to drop the mask and lead with your whole self.
