When was the last time you heard your true inner voice speaking through all the noise of expectations? In today's powerful episode of Leadership Presence, I (Janet Ioli) share the thunderbolt moment that changed everything for me—losing my father at age 60 before he could enjoy the retirement he'd been waiting for. This wake-up call sent me on a journey to discover my authentic leadership voice beneath layers of conditioning about being "nice," "pretty," and "agreeable." If you've been shape-shifting to please others or wearing masks of perfection in your leadership role, this episode offers the soul work needed to break free and lead with genuine presence.

In this episode, you will be able to: 

  • Learn the exact process for creating your personal leadership manifesto that grounds you in who you truly are and what you stand for
  • Discover how to identify and shed the masks you've been wearing that no longer serve your authentic leadership journey
  • Uncover the powerful question your 90-year-old self wants you to answer about what truth you're avoiding in your leadership right now

What mask have you been wearing in your leadership journey that no longer feels true to who you are? I'd love to hear your reflections on this deeply personal work of uncovering your inner voice.
