About this course

Authenticity is the healthy alignment between internal values and beliefs and external behavior. Authenticity comes from finding your style and your way of leading — and making life decisions that reflect your ethics, values, and your personality.

Authentic leadership is one leadership style that emphasizes transparency, genuineness and honesty. Proponents of authentic leadership say this type of leader is best positioned to inspire trust, loyalty and strong performances from employees.

The uniqueness of who you are, and your unique personality, belong to your innate qualities. It is impossible for you to show up as an authentic leader without having these innate qualities on display. While these qualities are critical, they are of little value in a leader that lacks the skills to bring them to the forefront day in and day out.

Authentic leadership is manifested through skills that can be learned. This session will teach you that these skills can be practiced and masterfully expressed through your unique personality.
