Executive Presence: Why Authenticity Beats Performance | Your Trauma-Wise Career Guide Ep 18


Listen Later

🎯 Stop performing your way through your career! If you're a trauma survivor who's mastered the art of "executive presence" but feel completely disconnected from your authentic self, this episode will change everything.

What You'll Learn:
✅ Why traditional executive presence advice is retraumatizing for trauma survivors
✅ The 3 trauma-informed shifts that create authentic leadership presence
✅ How to leverage emotional intelligence as your professional superpower
✅ Strategic authenticity: being real without oversharing
✅ Why vulnerability creates stronger leadership than performance

The 3 Game-Changing Shifts:

Shift #1: From performing confidence → embodying radical honesty
Shift #2: From suppressing emotions → leveraging emotional intelligence
Shift #3: From dominating conversations → creating psychological safety

The Truth Bomb: The most magnetic leaders aren't the ones who have all the answers - they're the ones who can say "I don't know" with confidence and commit to finding solutions.

Your trauma recovery has given you incredible emotional intelligence, problem-solving skills, and the ability to create safety for others. These aren't weaknesses to hide - they're leadership superpowers to leverage strategically.
