Episode 10: Self-Expressed Leadership as a Workplace Lens

Today, Brooke Hofsess and I talk about self-expressed leadership as a lens for understanding how folks can show up as leaders. We talk about the five qualities of self expressed leadership: presence, congruence, reverence, interdependence, and divergence and how self-expressed leadership invites other people into their fullest expression, and how that creates a sense of connection and belonging.    Brooke’s framework is a great example of the alignment between content and methods, where leadership is the connective tissue that grows as you practice and live into these expressions of yourself. What has your experience of self expressed leadership looked like?    You can find Brooke online at www.brookehofsesscoaching.com/ [http://www.brookehofsesscoaching.com/]  Sign up for her fabulous newsletter at https://www.brookehofsesscoaching.com/podcasts [https://www.brookehofsesscoaching.com/podcasts]

These are just some of the issues that we will be diving into in this episode.
