episode 88 - the word is provenance

What does it mean to truly be authentic as a leader?

In this week’s episode of The Word is Leadership, I explore the concept of "provenance" (the origin and authenticity of something) and how it applies to leadership.

I challenge the idea that authenticity is simply "being yourself." Instead, I introduce the concept of valuable authenticity: being yourself with intent and impact.

Through three key areas (your voice, pattern, and edge) you’ll learn how to uncover your authentic self by reflecting on your history, choices, and struggles.

Discover how your voice shapes influence, your patterns define value, and your edge, born from challenges, creates depth and credibility.

This episode invites you to question whether you’re showing up as your full self or just the easy, filtered version.

Are you being yourself or your best self? Tune in to gain practical tools for aligning authenticity with leadership impact. Perfect for anyone looking to lead with greater purpose, skill, and self-awareness!
