Leading Imperfectly: The Value of Being Authentic 
for Leaders, Professionals, and Human Beings

 

Hey Superwoman, take off your cape! Hey Batman, take off your mask! Hey decision-makers, put away your ego! Let's talk about who you are personally as a leader and as a partner. As humans, we can't learn things from people who are perfect, we can only learn things from people who are imperfect. So, it is time to own who you are so you can be real to others and lead through your faults. This deep but hysterical session will leave you feeling introspective about the person you show to others and recognize the rapport and trust-building power of authenticity in your communication and relationships. If you're looking to master the art of courageous feedback and authentic relationship building, this is the session for you. 

After attending this session, you will be able to:

  • Explain the definition and application of "Authentic Leadership" and how it can transform communication and relationships.
  • Reflect on the desire for perfection and control in ambiguous times.
  • Analyze how you let others define what authenticity means to them, even if it makes them uncomfortable. 

 James will present virtually. Attendees can participate in-person or virtually.

Content Leader

James Robilotta, James T. Robilotta

James is a leadership author, motivational speaker, and trained improv comedian. After nearly 15 years of building, training, and leading teams, James followed an entrepreneurial dream and built two successful businesses. The first is an organization that incorporates freestyle rap into improv comedy (a success story for another day). And the second is his speaking and coaching business (a success story for today).

 

James has been speaking professionally to willing and unwilling audiences for years and has found that quality humor is the secret to hosting powerful conversations that make a genuine impact. His attendees leave feeling recharged, introspective, and ready to get out of their own way. With years of research (and a few too many real-life case studies within his work), James learned everything he could about authenticity in the workplace. He uses this insight to help leaders learn how to manage and retain talent, give feedback that sticks, and build better teams.

 

James’ cornerstone concept is that we as humans can’t learn from people who are perfect, we can only learn from people who are imperfect. And companies like American Express, GE, and Afterpay have gravitated toward this message and found the insights to be invaluable in shifting the way their teams communicate. James is working to bring humanity back into the workplace and is on a mission to ensure that in their personal and work life, every human realizes they are enough.
