How to Be a Brave Leader with Nicole Trick Steinbach

Leadership requires ruthless self-honesty and radical self-compassion. You balance between the two with curiosity. Nicole Trick Steinbach and I share a similar belief in this and plenty of similar leadership scars! Nicole shared some really incredible stories about how she found herself in tech, what led her to an HR intervention with her leadership, and how she coaches others to become brave leaders now. She’s been in the mud and failure of leadership and has no qualms about sharing what she’s learned with all of us. Thank goodness! It’s okay if leadership doesn’t come easy at first, it’s okay if you admit that you’re not great at everything, in fact please do.
