from THE COURAGE TO LEAD INTERVIEW SERIES · host ALLAN SICARD

Police officer. Survivor. Author. Advocate. Lana Boland author of Aftershot, joins The Courage to Lead for one of the most honest and deeply personal conversations ever recorded on the podcast. Lana speaks openly about childhood trauma, policing, PTSD, leadership, ADHD, organisational culture and the long journey towards accepting herself exactly as she is. Her message is simple but powerful: "Leadership isn't about rank. It's about authenticity. It's about genuinely caring for people." This is not simply a conversation about mental health. It is a conversation about courage. It explores what happens when organisations fail to support their people, why genuine human connection matters more than ever, and how our greatest struggles can become our greatest purpose. Throughout the interview Lana reminds us that healing doesn't come from pretending to be someone else. It comes from finally giving ourselves permission to be ourselves. A remarkable conversation about resilience, vulnerability and hope. 3 words that sum up Lana:   Authentic. Courageous. Unbreakable.   Follow Allan Sicard on LinkedIn, Instagram and ALLANSICARD.COM.
