Episode notes
Managing your personal brand perception as a leader is more complex than just "being yourself" or "making a good impression." It’s far more complicated than a formula for how you show up, and it’s most definitely not about shrinking yourself to be liked by others. This week, I explore how high-achieving women can strategically navigate how others experience their leadership presence without compromising their authenticity or power. Through candid stories from my own leadership journey and my experience coaching other women leaders, I share critical insights about the disconnect that often occurs between our intentions and how others perceive us.
