Authentic Leadership: The Role of Self-Awareness
Let’s talk about leadership—but not the kind that’s all buzzwords and no substance. 🙄
I’m talking about authentic leadership, the kind that starts with self-awareness.
Because here’s the honest truth: you can’t lead others effectively if you don’t understand yourself first!
So, here’s your dose of your monthly HR Therapy.
A chance to dig into - what makes you YOU.
A session dedicated to the role self-awareness plays in authentic leadership.
Together, we’ll explore:
✅ Why authenticity is more important than it’s ever been
✅ How to navigate your blind spots and grow
✅ The ripple effect great leadership has on your team and organization
✅ How HR can help others become more self-aware
