It takes courage to show up to connect and lead authentically

There’s this tricky line between being authentic and also keeping people hopeful. 

It’s a line that right now is getting harder to walk, as you manage the fears, uncertainty, frustration and concerns that you are holding. This week, we’re looking at ideas, perspectives, and ways to keep showing up as the leader you want to be.

You want to be credible, confident, and clear, yet you also need to be honest and open. If your job is on the line, or you are not sure what will happen next it’s hard to hold both of those. Your fears and worries will show through your words, your tone and how you hold yourself. Don’t be fooled into thinking you can hide it. Equally don’t think that your teams don’t know what’s going on. Show them how you walk through uncertainty holding onto hope and in alignment with your values.
