Ep 5 | The Myth of the Natural Leader
Were you born to lead - or just the one who couldn’t walk away?
In this episode of Tutum Talk, Cara Nance challenges the myth that real leaders are “naturals” who never doubt, struggle, or fail. Together, we explore what it really means to lead from truth instead of performance - and why vulnerability isn’t weakness, but a living example of courage.
You’ll discover how authentic leadership invites trust, strengthens teams, and creates cultures where people feel safe to show up as their full selves.
Because the best leaders aren’t born - they’re becoming.
🎧 Tune in for a grounded conversation about the invisible labor of leadership, the power of authenticity, and how modeling vulnerability transforms teams from the inside out.
💬 Key Takeaways
- Leadership isn’t about being natural - it’s about being authentic.
- The emotional and invisible labor of leadership deserves to be recognized and honored.
- Vulnerability is strength; it’s the foundation of psychological safety and trust.
- Teams thrive when leaders model honesty, not perfection.
- True leadership is less about control and more about connection.
🪞 Reflective Prompt for Listeners
Where in your leadership are you performing instead of connecting?
What might shift if you allowed your true self to take the lead?
