Authentic Leadership Podcast

Trying to articulate the vision behind the Authentic Leadership Podcast turned out to be a bit of a disaster. But hey—it’s called Authenticity Studio for a reason! The video is about four minutes long, and I really recommend watching it until the end. Even I couldn’t stop laughing at myself.

So excited to share our first-ever podcast episode with Eva Chen MNZM—dropping next week! https://www.authenticitystudio.co.nz/

A real conversation with a dear friend of mine—Eva Chen MNZM. From her humble beginnings to the remarkable woman she is today, one thing has never changed: her spark, her inner knowing, her essence. That quiet strength has always been there. That’s what authentic leadership truly looks like.

Eva was awarded the New Zealand Order of Merit (NZOM), a national honour that recognises individuals who have made significant contributions to the nation or have distinguished themselves in their field. And yet, she remains deeply humble—leading not from ego, but from essence. She is someone who stood up when the room was quiet, when no one else dared to speak the truth.

Don’t miss the full conversation—coming next week at Authenticity Studio https://www.authenticitystudio.co.nz/

I’ve known Eva Chen MNZM for 17 years—our paths first crossed when I was working at the Mental Health Foundation.

I can’t wait to share our heartfelt conversation with you. #AuthenticLeadership — coming next week. Here’s a sneak peek.

Whether you are walking the path of lived experience, stepping into leadership, or shaping an organisation that seeks to become unshakeable, our work is tailored to meet you where you are.

We support you to make decisions, take action, and lead from a place of inner consistency — a truth that does not waver when the world becomes loud, storms rise, or others try to pull you away from your centre.

To live with clarity is not to resist the storm but to stand within it — grounded in your essence, letting that quiet truth ripple outward and reshape the world around you.
