About this listen

Have you ever wondered if leaders are born or made? In this episode, I’m busting the myth that leadership is something you’re born with. Real leadership is built over time, through trial and error, reflection, and the courage to keep showing up even when it’s hard.

I’m walking you through some of my own defining moments and what my research has uncovered about how leaders actually grow. We’re diving into why you don’t need a title to lead, how self-efficacy can change everything, and why it’s just as important to learn from bad leadership as it is to learn from great leaders. If you’ve ever doubted whether you’re “leadership material,” this conversation will remind you that it’s not about being a “born leader,” it’s about staying curious, hungry, and committed to becoming the best leader you can be.
