Stop Tying Your Purpose to Your Title: How to Lead with Identity When the Role Changes

Episode notes

What happens to your identity when the title disappears? In this episode of the Leadership Sovereignty Podcast, host Ralph Owens and co-host Terry Baylor continue their conversation with Brenda Battle - veteran healthcare executive, board leader, and one of the most respected voices in transformational leadership. This is Part 4 of 5 of their conversation with Brenda. Brenda gets candid about what it means to carry your purpose beyond the position - how she navigated knowing it was time to leave before she had a plan, how she showed up in excellence even when the environment turned hostile, and why the most dangerous thing a professional can do is tie their identity to their title. Terry shares a powerful story about being in a C-suite room when Brenda's name came up - and what happened when it did. It is one of the most moving moments of the entire series.
