There’s something about a badass – an authentic leader – that exudes certainty and natural presence.

If your conversations are littered with scripts that you learn in a course or read in a book, eventually everyone starts using the same ones.  Your conversations sound rehearsed and inauthentic.  “Holding space” and “honouring your journey” become overused and deteriorate your credibility.

So don’t buy into scripts.  Focus on being in real conversations with real people consistently (not just when things blow up), and the right thing to say becomes automatic.
