Becoming an Authentic Leader w/ Marsha Stone

Join Marsha Stone and I on this week's episode of the Workplace Wonderer: Lessons From The Experts Series on the topic: Authentic Leadership in Behavioral Health. About Marsha Stone: Experienced Chief Executive Officer with a demonstrated history of working in the health and wellness industry. Skilled in Leadership, Growth, Crisis Intervention, Family Therapy, Case Management, and Prevention. Strong business and brand development professional with a Doctor of Law (JD) focused in Law from North Carolina Central University School of Law. Marsha is now the founder of Foundation Stone Family of Programs and is always seeking to provide excellent, state-of-the-art behavioral healthcare to those that need it most! The first time I got to see Marsha Stone speak she was discussing the topic of Authentic Leadership. If you know me, this is a topic that makes me giddy so I was on the edge of my seat throughout her whole presentation. What made it so special, however, wasn't the data she presented. She stood on stage in her truth and walked the walk of authentic leadership. She was vulnerable and heart-open. Even more special, though, was seeing some of her team-members in the audience agreeing with everything she said. It was clear she was up there being truly authentic. Authentic leadership is about being true to ourselves, our emotions, our mission, and "followers". This style of leadership creates bonds that go beyond the standard leader/follower relationship because authenticity is at the root of what connects us all.
