When a leader is authentic, they not only save the time they would spend trying to portray someone they are not but also become instantly trustworthy. Nothing beats a leader who's vulnerable enough to show up authentically and humble enough to assume their errors and keep learning.

In today's episode, I'm joined by the fabulous April Griffith Taylor to discuss authenticity, networking, and the differences being a lifelong learner can make in our lives. April is a Talent Acquisition Leader with over 30 years of experience in HR. Throughout her career, April has used her corporate platform to raise diversity, equity, and inclusion awareness in corporate America. 

We had a fantastic conversation about April's upbringing, leadership style, and passion for transforming the workspace into an inclusive and diverse environment. April also talks about the transformative power of authenticity on virtually every level of an organization and how subordinates and leaders can benefit from it.

We also discuss empathy at the workspace, work-life balance, April's fears, significant accomplishments and lessons learned, and much more.
