Wait, what’s wrong with vulnerability? And are we really talking about cosmology and poetry on this podcast? Yes, today’s episode is a bit different from our usual fare here at Manager on a Mission. My guest is Conner Kees - author, acupuncturist, and interfaith minister. In this convo, we explore why traditional notions of vulnerability in leadership might be missing the mark, and how radical authenticity offers a more powerful path forward. We even talk about what it truly means to trust yourself and let go of the controlling mindset that keeps many leaders from their full potential.
I promise this episode will challenge your usual thinking about leadership and get you thinking! Even if you never want to manage people, this conversation offers a unique lens for examining your approach to leadership and authenticity at work and in life in general.
You can find out more about Conner on his site where you can also get his book, Trusting Your Foundation.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
