Welcome to a brand new week on The Integrated Leader Podcast! This week, we’re exploring what it means to humanize the workplace—not just for your team, but for yourself. In today’s episode, we challenge the outdated idea that professionalism means perfection, distance, or always having it together. You’ll hear why vulnerability, presence, and emotional honesty aren’t soft—they’re strategic. We talk about: • Why people-centered leadership drives performance • How disconnection shows up in meetings, feedback, and decision-making • The simple shift from “performing leadership” to being a leader If you’ve ever felt like work demands you leave your humanity at the door, this episode will help you reclaim your sense of self—and give others permission to do the same. ⸻ 💬 Today’s Reflection Prompt: “Where am I hiding my humanity in the name of professionalism?”
