About this listen

The Trust Myth That's Sabotaging Your Leadership (Hint: It's Not What You Think) Time to bust the biggest leadership lie out there: that consistency automatically builds trust. Spoiler alert – it doesn't. In fact, if you're being consistent with the wrong things, you're actually destroying trust faster than a Captain Jack Sparrow con job. The Consistency Trap Here's where most leaders go wrong: they think being consistent means sticking to someone else's playbook no matter what. Following strategic plans religiously. Borrowing character traits that aren't authentically theirs. Sound familiar? You're basically cosplaying as a leader instead of actually leading. The Captain Jack Sparrow Truth Bomb "I'm dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. It's the honest ones you have to watch out for." Harsh? Maybe. True? Absolutely. There's honor among thieves because they're consistent with their actual values, not some borrowed blueprint. Why Your Team Doesn't Trust You (And It's Not Your Fault... Yet) When 45% of people lack trust in leadership, the problem isn't time or consistency – it's authenticity. Your team can smell inauthenticity from a mile away. They're watching your actions, not listening to your words. And if your values flip-flop based on convenience? Game over. The Courage Connection Here's the real secret sauce: courage beats time every single day. It takes guts to admit when something isn't working. It takes backbone to align your leadership style with your actual values instead of what you think leadership "should" look like. And it takes serious bravery to reach out for help when you're feeling isolated. The Bottom Line: Stop playing leadership dress-up. Start showing up as your authentic self, even if it's messy. Your team would rather follow an imperfect leader who's genuine than a perfect leader who's fake. Tune in for: Why consistency without authenticity is leadership suicide The Captain Jack Sparrow approach to building unshakeable trust How to spot when you're borrowing someone else's character The courage-based framework that transforms struggling leaders into trusted guides Real talk about reaching out for help (spoiler: it's not weakness, it's wisdom) Ready to trade the leadership costume for authentic influence? This episode is your permission slip to be real.
