Season 5 Ep 7: The Joy of Transparency, Openness, and Full Self-Expression

Season 5 Ep 7: The Joy of Transparency, Openness, and Full Self-Expression

Author: Lisa Kuzman June 7, 2021 Duration: 12:13

Have you ever been told not to let people see you cry? Does the idea of showing up as your full, potentially vulnerable self kinda freak you out? If so, this episode is for you — because we're talking all about transparency and openness as a leader.

Listen, I want other people to show up fully as themselves, and that's why I'm doing my best to lead by example. (And in the spirit of full disclosure, yes, you might hear one of the trains that runs past my new house with their horns blaring approximately one thousand times per day...!)

Showing up as your full self is scary — full stop. But it doesn't make you less of a leader, and it's a lot less scary when you're not alone.

You know how I know? Because your people are over at my trauma sensitive leadership group, talking about all of this and more. We'd love to have you join us: https://www.facebook.com/groups/764082764458292/
If you're looking for more of a one-on-one experience, never forget that I would love to hear from you! https://lisakuzman.com/


There's a quiet shift happening in how we think about authority and influence, and New Wave Leadership Podcast is right at the heart of it. Host Lisa Kuzman believes traditional, top-down leadership models have run their course, proving ineffective for today's complex world. Instead, this movement champions a much broader, more inclusive vision. Each episode digs into the real, often unspoken challenges that come with stepping into a role of influence, whether you're in a corner office, a community group, or simply leading your own life. The conversations here actively work to expand our definition of who gets to be a leader, arguing passionately for the necessity of diverse identities, perspectives, and lived experiences at the helm. You'll hear frank discussions about authenticity, the personal hurdles leaders navigate behind closed doors, and practical ideas for cultivating your own unique leadership identity without conforming to outdated standards. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a necessary dialogue-one that moves beyond theory to explore what it genuinely means to show up and make an impact on your own terms.
