Jolt Your Career with Teegan Bartos

The Authentic Advantage: Why Being Real is the New Edge in Executive Careers


Listen Later

Blending in used to feel safe.
But in 2026 it’s the riskiest move you can make as a leader.

In this episode of Jolt Your Career, Teegan sits down with Amanda Molenaar, former diplomat turned executive coach, to explore why authenticity isn’t a buzzword anymore. It’s your competitive edge.


Together, we unpack:
🗸 Why blending in kills your leadership potential
🗸 How authenticity becomes your strategic advantage in 2025 and beyond
🗸 What stops executives from showing up as themselves (and how to move past it)
🗸 One bold move you can make this week to be remembered for the right reasons


If you’ve ever felt the pressure to polish yourself out of presence, this conversation will remind you: your power is in your truth.
