If you know me, this is a topic that makes me giddy so I was on the edge of my seat throughout her whole presentation.

What made it so special, however, wasn't the data she presented. She stood on stage in her truth and walked the walk of authentic leadership. She was vulnerable and heart-open. Even more special, though, was seeing some of her team-members in the audience agreeing with everything she said. It was clear she was up there being truly authentic.

Authentic leadership is about being true to ourselves, our emotions, our mission, and "followers". This style of leadership creates bonds that go beyond the standard leader/follower relationship because authenticity is at the root of what connects us all.
