Nobody taught you to lead. You absorbed it.

From the leaders who came before you, the ones who inspired you, the ones who let you down, the ones whose habits you quietly took on without ever choosing to. You are carrying all of it into every room you lead in.

In this episode we explore where your leadership really came from, what you inherited that is genuinely yours to keep and what you absorbed that was never yours at all. Because seeing yourself clearly as a leader means being honest about what shaped you. And deciding, perhaps for the first time, who you actually want to be.
