info_outlineWelcome to episode #212 of the Own Your Best Life Podcast. One of the common misconceptions that I see both professionally and personally is that people don’t think they’re leadership material if they’re not loud, aggressive, direct and extraverted. Leadership, however, isn’t a personality trait that you innately have or don’t have - it’s a skill that you develop - and it pays dividends for years to come when you develop these skills. Today’s podcast is going to help you understand the difference between the personality and skill of leadership and help you lead even more authentically.
