What is "Authentistic" leadership? (And why your business needs it)


Hi Reader,

I’m excited to share my latest podcast episode with you! I recently sat down with Jaclyn Strominger, co-author of Charting True North: The CEO’s Guide to Authentistic Leadership, for a fascinating conversation that left me looking at my own business operations through a totally new lens.

Have you ever stopped to wonder if your team is truly aligned with your company’s core mission? Jaclyn shared a story about NASA where even the janitor knew his job was to “help put a man on the moon.” It made me realize how vital it is for business owners and leaders to clearly articulate their vision!

In this episode, we explore:

  • What “Authentistic Leadership” means and how to take authenticity to the next level
  • How Jaclyn co-authored a book with Damien Andrews while living in completely different time zones (Nevada and Australia!)
  • Why they designed their book as a hands-on workbook with 30 days of reflection and journal prompts
  • Jaclyn’s strategic roadmap for writing a 7-book leadership series
  • How to identify and foster the natural, hidden leaders inside your business

One of my favorite quotes from our conversation was: “Leadership is learned. You don’t come out of the womb an amazing leader—you learn it, so you have to keep learning it.”
