Authentic Leadership

About this course

Most leaders are trained to perform confidence, project certainty, and keep personal reactions out of the room. But when leadership becomes a costume rather than a genuine expression of who you are, it quietly erodes trust, drains your energy, and disconnects you from the people you are trying to lead. Guided by Dr. Sweta Chawla, leadership coach and creator of the Natural Leadership Model, you will examine the motivations and habits that drive your current leadership behavior, identify the five characteristics of authentic leaders, and practice the communication and self-awareness skills that make authenticity a daily practice rather than an aspiration. You will work through realistic scenarios involving self-security, vulnerability, deep listening, and navigating discomfort so that your leadership style is grounded in who you actually are. By the end of this course, you will apply authentic leadership principles to real workplace situations, using self-awareness, purposeful communication, and a defined personal leadership style to build trust and sustained impact with your team.
