It’s an interview with Executive Coach, Leadership Expert, Keynote Speaker, and Best Selling Author, it’s Danessa Knaupp. This episode is about: Fearless Authenticity.

Danessa has now become a long-time friend. She is very smart and has now written her first best selling book. Of course, her book is the focus of this week’s podcast.  Whether you read Danessa’s book or not (of course I encourage you to read it), I assure you, that you will get several valuable nuggets from this conversation. 

This episode is for anyone who struggles with achieving what they are truly capable of achieving. 

In this interview, we talk about:

  • Danessa provides an authentic question that tests a leader’s motivation when leading their teams.
  • She shares what she describes as rewards and risks of being authentic in your leadership with an example when your authentic self may not be welcome.
  • With great resources like Danessa’s book and other resources, when does it make sense for a leader to additionally seek help from a coach or a light pole?
  • Danessa also explains “productive discomfort” and why this is so important in your leadership journey.
  • She also points out why it’s okay if you feel like you are actually going backward right now as we are going through this pandemic.

Thank you for listening to The Authentic Leader Show Podcast.

I look forward to hearing from you. Until then, remember, you don’t need to be a leader of leaders. Just be the leader others want to follow. Be, an Authentic Leader.
